Old jail dir reappears after reboot - why?

[Redd Vinylene]

Greetings!

# df /jail
Filesystem 1K-blocks  Used      Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/jail 1839358428   18 1839358410     0%    /jail

Yes - this directory is on the same filesystem as /jails. And yes - I did
issue a "rm -rf /jail" after "umount /jail".

fsck showed no signs of filesystem error.

Thanks!
