- That's not a fatal error.
- You didn't write down the whole message.  (the whole message would have
  told you what function generated the error message, and which
  drive caused the problem)
- I think there still may be a bug in the devstat implementation in the wd
  driver that causes the busy count to go negative sometimes.

Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
