Clermont-Ferrand 1, France Lines: 18 Message-ID: <5ctsff$irm@cicsun.univ-bpclermont.fr> NNTP-Posting-Host: llaic.univ-bpclermont.fr Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:34833 I have a 2.2-ALPHA distribution with a 3gb QF IDE HD with quite a few partitions on it (msdos, ufs and ext2), and when I have a lot of partitions mounted and shutdown the machine I've noticed that it will sometimes print something like "4 4 4 4 4 4" and then give up trying to umount the partitions properly. At the next boot, fsck complains about / and /usr not having the clean flag (although they usually appear fine). Is that a known problem? I know the ext2fs code isn't quite stable, but it also does it on my UFS partitions, and if I manually umount things before shutting down it doesn't do it. If it's been fixed since -ALPHA, nevermind :) Roger -- e-mail: roger.espel.llima@ens.fr WWW page & PGP key: http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/espel/index.html
