The system shutdown was unable to flush all buffers | on shutdown and would report this fact. The problem can be worked around | by running sync(8) a few times before rebooting, or solved by updating | to a recent FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE snapshot. Since I updated, i have had no more of this problems, so you can close this PR. CU, Sec -- Working on GUIs rots your brain. The KDE and GNOME developers are prime examples. -- brandon in asr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
