You can ignore them. It's a long-standing bug. Basically the
kernel is having a hard time unmounting the MFS filesystems due to
their dual user/kernel nature. Basically the kernel tries to kill
all user processes before unmounting but that also winds up messing
up the MFS mounts since each one uses a user process as a placeholder.
The system should still halt ok. It just spews a lot of warnings.
