Hi!
I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on my machine.
Recently I saw things like this in /var/log/messages:
Apr 14 14:29:43 nil /kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted.
[...]
Apr 14 21:02:31 nil /kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted.

Nobody pushed reset and I am helpless. There is no heavy load on this
machine, all I can imagine is a problem with power supply - but probably
there are other reasons why my machine did these "sporadic reboots".
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gunnar
