Seems like doing a shutdown -p now on the current
5.4-STABLE branch is resulting in FS corruption.
I've done this 4 times now and all but 1 time the
machine has failed to boot with a panic:
mod=0100600, inum=1271817, fs=/var
panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc
cpuid = 0
boot() called on cpu#0
The only way

Maybe the machine is being powered down before your disks have
finished writing their data to disk.

So sounds like this does need a bit of looking at. The key thing is
both reboot and halt always leave the machine FS in a good state
where as shutdown -p doesnt so is there something that -p skips?
Or is it simply the fact that it powers down?
