I only see this error message after a crash.  Following a successful
shutdown reboot, I have no problems.  What is the situation when you are
getting this message?  Every boot or just after a crash?

I'm not sure where the "file exists" error comes in, unless some kind of
pipe is created in the filesystem that's not getting cleared.

Hope this helps.

Later.
