Hello,

I have created dirty blocks that is not cleared by dump command.
the process is as follows:
(1) make a directory tree in somewhere.
        then we can observe these fscache blocks are in dirty state, 
        as mentioned Geoff's documents.
(2) remove the tree using clri command.
        then we can confirm these fscache blocks still exist with dirty state.
(3) dump
(4) reboot
(5) we can again confirm these fscache blocks still exist with dirty state.

I have believed the dump command clears all dirty block in fscache,
however, it seems the command clears only dirty blocks that is referenced
by main tree.

FS(8) says:
 A subsequent check free will place the abandoned storage in the free list.

I did't "check free" immediately after clri.
