But at some point we make the image read-only, and at that point there are still other servers running. If other servers are running, they use some pagers. Iirc if a library is in use (i.e. a pager is in use) at system shutdown, we get those 'deleted inode has X links(?), should be zero' issues. And these do pile up. Justus
