FreeBSD fails to sync buffers on shutdown and gives up requiring and fsck on reboot everytime. It first syncs vnodes which hit 0 after a short time, then while syncing buffers the count starts at 7 and stays there til it gives up trying to sync them. When I first go into single user mode, then umount all fs by hand I can run reboot and it will shutdown properly. Is there a way to increase the delay on shutdown or some other way to fix this problem? I'm using a clean install of FreeBSD 5.3. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
