Since upgrading our campus news server to FreeBSD 2.1, it has been crashing every few days, and the system hasn't been able to come back up by itself because of problems encountered by fsck. After the last crash, I enabled savecore and set the dumpdev and this morning I have captured a crash dump (the panic was "bad dir"). When I ran fsck by hand on the problem filesystem (wd0s1e, my news-overview database parition), I encountered these problems: DIRECTORY CORRUPTED I=7811 OWNER=news MODE=40775 SIZE=512 MTIME=Dec 20 00:31 1995 DIR=? SALVAGE? Y MISSING '.' I=7811 OWNER=news [...] FIX? Y ZERO LENGTH DIRECTORY I=7811 REMOVE? Y DUP/BAD I=86811 OWNER=news MODE=100664 SIZE=221951 MTIME=Dec 20 19:42 1995 FILE=/news.overview/alt/test/.overview REMOVE? Y BAD/DUP DIR I=7811 CLEAR? Y The system crashed around 19:42 on Dec 20, so the first "DIRETORY CORRUPTED" message seems odd... Anyway, has anyone seen any problems like this? I'm preparing a debugging kernel with the same config file so I can get a crash dump that I can use.
