Yesterday I had tested rebooting the server after just the base O/S had been installed and it was working fine so I assumed that was it. Today I have reinstalled all my ports and then decided to do one last reboot to make sure everything came up properly. And guess what? The same error happened again! I then tracked it down. It seems to happen when the mail/postgrey port is started. If I comment that out of rc.conf and reboot and let it mark the filesystem clean then I can happily reboot with no issues again. If I remove the comment and start it up then I get the same issue on the next reboot. So there is something strange happening between the mail/postgrey port and 9.1-RC1 amd64. As greylisting isn't completely important I can leave this disabled for now but I would like to still resolve this issue so that I can use it again, unless there is alternative greylisting software that I could use with postfix.
