Filipi-Martin" Reply-To: adrian@virginia.edu To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: instability with 2.1.5 kernel Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks, When shutting down my 2.1.5-RELEASE system, the kernel is failing with alarming regularity to flush all of the buffers. I frequently see about a dozen 4's and the a "giving up" message before the system reboots. When the systme comes up the root filesystem and sometimes others are not marked clean and must be fsck'ed. Has anyone else seen this? I have also seen a 'shutdown -h +0' go directly to rebooting. These problems did not appear until after upgrading from 2.1. I have not seen any wierdness with prior version. Bad hardware or a bug? thanks, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
