dismount error on 5.2.1

2004-07-25 Thread J.D. Bronson
I reboot my machine at about 50% of the time..I see
this in the logs:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
Is this a known issue?
I dont know why its complaining...any pointers would be appreciated!

Hey J.D
This tells you that your drive's did not properly shutdown when 
requested. So that could imply a reset, or a crash. When you reboot
normally your disk would sync itself and then properly shutdown.

The message tells you that that was not the case, so it needs checks 
(which i think follows after the message you describe)

Cheers

Thanks - this of course is what I had expected, but trying to find out WHY 
its not dismounting properly

Yes, fsck does run after this message as expected too...
thanks-

Ah , well i have it with my SATA controller. It does not handle the 
reboot cyclus very well, perhaps you can watch the reboot to see whether 
it sync's and such..

If you reboot your machine by typing 'reboot' you don't run the
various rc.d scripts to turn off any services you have running.  If a
process has an open file descriptor onto the root FS and doesn't play
ball with the usual sync and dismount procedure, it could have the
results you observe.

Try using the command:

# shutdown -r now

to get a clean shutdown and reboot.

Cheers,

Matthew
