Hi,

cmd_sync sets 

rlock(&mainlock); 

...
syncall();
...
runlock(&mainlock);

...
syncproc, the background process forked by kfs, runs 
syncblock()
without setting rlock(&mainlock)

Can it the cause that I am getting wrenwrite errors after
'check f' on startup, if cmd_sync is not called after cmd_check
and before forking 'sync' and 'serve'?

I am still struggling to understand the problem. I've changed
the disk to be sure and still can reproduce the error if cmd_sync
is not called after the list of free blocks is rebuilt after blackdown.

David Tolpin
