Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm now running 2.2-RELENG and have one major problem; I can't shut down cleanly. What ever I do it causes fsck next time through, usually with the message that it wasn't unmounted properly. The root partition is UFS while I have a couple of ext2 partitions as well. I also often get syncing 13 13 13 13 ..... giving up (I think the number varies - but stays the same until it goes). Whats going on? Also: I'm going to modify mountd so that it skips entries in netgroups when it can't get the IP for them; we have netgroups which occasionaly have old machines in, and I'd prefer that it server all the valid machines.
