From bfc3303a835c5c46bab0010b786775dd98e7e80e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Watson Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 08:23:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add a TODO item for alarming devfs warnings at shutdown; these errors are spurious and serve only to cause bug reports and general upset. Mark as mine and WIP; I have a patch that will hopefully be tested by someone. --- en/releases/6.0R/todo.sgml | 14 +++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/en/releases/6.0R/todo.sgml b/en/releases/6.0R/todo.sgml index fa9651976e..19f8da68ce 100644 --- a/en/releases/6.0R/todo.sgml +++ b/en/releases/6.0R/todo.sgml @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ - + %includes; %developers; @@ -85,6 +85,18 @@ Found by stress tests at http://www.holm.cc/stress/log/cons141.html. + + Alarming devfs shutdown error needs to be quenched + &status.wip; + &a.rwatson; + During system shutdown, devfs generates a spurious error message + due to /dev being non-unmountable: "unmount of /dev failed (BUSY)". + While this is not a product of serious breakage, it is a potentially + alarming error, whose source should either be fixed, or the message + should be forceably quenched, in order to avoid many false positive + bug reports and user concern. + + panic: wrong b_bufobj &status.unknown;
