Warning at startup/boot, serial console

[Free_Norway]

Hi

i'am, seeing this warning Message when i look at the boot cycle via the serial console.
I have seen this mesage before, but there has never been an issue, so i have overlooked it.
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a [rw]...
WARNING: /mnt was not properly dismounted
Mounting filesystems...
tunefs: soft updates remains unchanged as enabled
tunefs: file system reloaded
WARNING: /mnt was not properly dismounted

Is this something to worry about?

Regards

I've seen those in my Hyper-V VM as well.
It shows when doing a normal reboot, so not a crash or whatever.

Been a while since I last rebooted, so would have to reboot to check for the current status of this.

It's harmless from what I can tell. There has been little research into why that happens, all help here would be welcome.

I am not qualified to look into it, but it looks like that for some reason it doesn't save (log?) that the partition was in fact dismounted.
At least, I take it that FreeBSD would normally do that when shutting down?

Hi

Thanks for the reply
Sorry, i didn't mention that i have seen this massage after a normal reboot from within Opnsense.
I'am definitive no expert on BSD/Unix, so i think there is nothing i can help with.

I will try to remenber to follow the boot sequence when the next reboot happens.
I report back when i see somthing different.
