Try to remove a big directory from a disk. >Fix: No. maybe it's an error with the buffer size or such. So many informations kept in cache without being written to disk naturally. That's odd. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
