dscheck(vn0): b_bcount 2 is not on a sector boundary

[Martin Aleksandrov Ivanov]

Dear all,

I am running the latest DragonFly on an ASUS laptop:

marto at dragonfly% uname -a
DragonFly dragonfly 5.8-RELEASE DragonFly v5.8.1-RELEASE #1: Thu May  7 
08:26:21 CEST 2020 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64

After installing the mete desktop, I get the following boot messages:

dscheck(vn3): b_bcount 2 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512)
dscheck(vn2): b_bcount 2 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512)
dscheck(vn1): b_bcount 2 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512)
dscheck(vn0): b_bcount 2 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512)
md1: Malloc disk

If I remove mate and then do package autoremove, these boot messages 
disappear. After installing mate again, the messages reappear. Do you 
have an idea what these messages mean? Should I ignore them? Everything 
seems to run OK on my system.

After spitting the above 5 lines, dmesg continues like this:

I guess some service is installed and turned on with the mate desktop. 
This service should be responsible for the messages. My hard drive has 4 
partitions that I created with gpt letting it automatically determine 
partition boundaries.

I am looking forward to your feedback. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Martin
