I posted on this mailing list two weeks ago and never received any
replies so I decided to raise a PR via the web form. But I think I
submitted it under the wrong category and it's marked as low priority
as well. But I think this is something that is a potential serious
problem if I end up getting a corrupted filesystem so I'm posting here again in the hope somebody can help this time. The PR is amd64/170646.

I'm now running the latest RELENG_9 code as of 25th August as I've
done a new buildworld/kernel. I still get the same problem. When I
reboot it I get WARNING: / was not properly dismounted and it rebuilds from journal. On shutdown I get the messages pasted below. I'm running
amd64 with GPT partitioning, UFS2 with softupdates and softupdates
journalling enabled. I have a custom kernel but I don't think I took
anything important out of it.

Then when the box comes back up again it detects that / was not unmounted
cleanly and recovers from journal before marking it clean once more.

Hi Matt

I'm far from anything near an expert on file systems but I'd suggest you remove softupdates and leave journaling on.
tunefs -n disable
There's no need to have both on and although I agree that both SHOULD work together there's no reason to have them on together. It will only slow down writes to the file system. Effectively soft updates was a go-between before journalin was introduced.
