The following is copied from the comments of FFS code: "Block devices associated with filesystems may have new I/O requests posted for them even if the vnode is *locked*, so no amount of trying will get them clean. Thus we give block devices a good effort, then just give up. For all other file types, go around and try again until it is clean." Can anyone explain to me when this situation will occur and, preferrably, point to the place of the related source code? Any help is appreciated. -Zhihui ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
