It doesn't appear as if any errors occured during the reboot
Nothing looks out of place.
Normally the clearing only takes a few minutes. The only thing
I can think of was I had 40mb of files (maybe 1000 at most)
that weren't there prior to any other reboot. Possibly these
extra files were the culprit.
The /tmp was only 1gb in size and ufs in type.
I don't believe the clearing was searching all filesystems
as only the drive that /tmp is mounted to was lit.
Thanks to those who replied on things to look at
but at present, I have no other explaination, other
than rebooting again, checking the time, then removeing
the files that were never there before (in /tmp) and
rebooting again and seeing if it takes it's normal time.
(but that will have to wait till I get a backup tape!!!)

The system finally rebooted, but it took about 20 minutes
to clear the temp files.....Checking now to see if anything
looks wrong.

Running DU 3.2c, I needed to reboot for misc reason
on reboot, the system seems stuck on clearing the temp files
the drive that /tmp is mounted on keeps flashing with
the drive that / is mounted on occaisionally flashing.
So far I have let it run for 20 minutes (never took more
than 1-2 minutes before).
Any Ideas?
