I consistantly get an error from the metalog init script during shutdown. 
Apparently, the /var/run/metalog.pid file doesn't get created during boot.  I
haven't been able to track down why, but it is interesting to note that it
doesn't seem to have any problem creating the pid file when started later.

Is your /var on a separate filesystem?

No, /var is in my root filesystem.

hmm everything seems hunky dory over here, my /var is also
on the / filesystem, no separate /var filesystem.

Chris,

Unless you have something to add to this, I'm going to 
close as WORKSFORME.  Cant reproduce here.
