After this morning's cvsup I now get a 'syncing disks...giving up
on three buffers' error message when shutting down the system and
the filesystem doesn't get properly dismounted.


For the last four days I could never shut the system down cleanly
because of the nVidia driver problem causing a kernel panic
when X got shut down, so I'm not sure if this problem really
just started this morning or somethime in the past four days.


Anyone else seeing this just today?


My build machine runs headless, so there may well be a salient
difference there, but today's -CURRENT build & reboot went just fine...

I discovered that I was still running SCHED_ULE from yesterday and switching back to SCHED_4BSD eliminated the problem.

I've actually been wondering why the system was so sluggish and now
I know why ;-)  Compiling a kernel was enough to drag the machine
practically to uselessness, but now it's back to it's old self.

The new scheduler still needs a bit of tweaking, methinks.
