Are these log messages problems? "fsync: giving up on dirty" and "Cannot suspend file system"?

Q. These error messages show up frequently in messages: "fsync: giving up on dirty" and "GEOM_JOURNAL: Cannot suspend file system /xx/yy". Is this a problem? Is my journal having issues?
A. These messages are safe to ignore. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg196977.html Seems to be a harmless message that occurs under certain load conditions and indicates that a journal switch is pending.
