When I halt/reboot my system I get "INIT: failed write of utmpx entry"



When the system shuts down, init(1m) updates /var/adm/utmp* to
reflect that fact.


If you have a separate /var filesystem, this operation will happen
after /var is unmounted and init complains:



INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:"s6"
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:"rb"


You can safely ignore these messages.
