I came to the same conclusion after I sent the original email. What I don't understand is how I ended up in ffs_snapshot(), because I don't have a snapshot of /var. I tried snapshots when Kirk first introduced the feature, but I removed all of the snapshots a long time ago. Is there a flag in the superblock that I need to clear? One other point, the machine was doing a background fsck on /var. Does a background fsck go through ffs_snapshot()? -- Steve http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~kargl/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
