The shutdown command attempts to create /etc/nologin and /etc/fastboot.
This error may be created by one of these operations. I have no clue why
though, because here everything works fine (except the situation when the
fatal error in pipefs.c decides to make a visit).

However, I think I saw similar message several times, but it occurs rarely
and rather incidentally.

As about kernel mesages, there is somehting that sometimes annoys me.
Namely, when I am trying to copy my Minix partition to another disk, I am
getting alerts like (I don't remember exactly): __fiomode = READ, zone =
0, chunk = (some number), todo = (some number). After several (15?) such
alerts are given, they stop appearing. Both source and destination
filesystems seem to be okay.

What does this mean?
