It's expected behavior. It tells you before you click apply changes that it will reboot. If the CARP IPs are deleted from the system while it's running, it kernel panics, so we have to force a reboot to remove them until FreeBSD fixes that panic issue. Removing CARP IPs should rarely be necessary so it's not a major issue, but we will remove that when the panic is resolved in FreeBSD. It still does that in 7.0 as well, unfortunately. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
