The following reply was made to PR kern/56675; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Martin Kammerhofer <Martin.Kammerhofer@kfunigraz.ac.at> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, lefcha@hellug.gr Cc: Subject: Re: kern/56675: Syncer "giving up" on buffers and ext2 filesystems [still a problem in 5.3RC1] Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 17:34:10 +0100 This is still an issue with 5-current. I have no patch for the kernel bug, but there is a quick userspace workaround. Since unmounting ext2 before shutdown works I inserted the following script into /etc/rc.d for auto-unmount during shutdown. This bug could bite quite a few, it should be documented in the 5.3 ERRATA! #! /bin/sh # # $Id: ext2fs,v 1.1 2004/11/15 11:02:56 martin Exp $ # # Unmount ext2fs upon shutdown to work around a kernel bug. # PROVIDE: ext2fs # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal # BEFORE: mountcritremote # KEYWORD: nojail shutdown ext2fs_enable="YES" ext2fs_flags="-v" # optional (u)mount verbosity . /etc/rc.subr name="ext2fs" rcvar=`set_rcvar` start_cmd="/sbin/mount -a -t ext2fs $ext2fs_flags" stop_cmd="/sbin/umount -A -t ext2fs -f $ext2fs_flags" load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1" #EOF#
