    On a FreeBSD 5.3 system of mine that is dual boot with linux I have my
    linux home partition which is ext3fs mounted on freebsd. Anytime I
    reboot or halt freebsd while it is mounted, freebsd fails to sync all
    it's buffers. The first message Syncing disks, vnodes remaining, starts
    out at around 5 or 10 and descreases to 0, then the message Syncing
    disks, buffers remaining... starts at 7 and stays at 7 the whole time
    untill freebsd gives up and reboots or halts anyways. Whenever I first
    unmount the ext2fs, the vnodes remaining message comes up as usually,
    but the buffers remains never does and freebsd just reboots normally. I
    could modify the shutdown scripts to unmount the fs manually I suppose,
    but I'd like to solve the real problem.

    P.S. I'd love to debug this myself, but I'm not very familiar with the
    freebsd source code yet, and I'm not sure how to use a debugger on it
    yet. Any pointers would be appreciated.
