Well, from your other e-mail it seems it was just dumping lots of old logs since the previous clean shutdown. (I almost mentioned that case in my original e-mail). In that case you can simply let it finish walking through all the logs or you can set loader tunables to raise the minimum class of message so it skips all the lower priority info messages when walking the log. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
