I started up my (version 3.3 ) freeBSD , and the first thing that I did was mount a MSDOS diskette and did a find on it (with -name "*hd*" ). I got three lines of output stating something like 'date error; month (14) out of range', then a long pause (during which I typed several ctl-C's ), and the system crashed. I booted immediately, and the system informed me (after the boot) that the disk is loused up and I should run fsck , which I did. I ran it several times and it didn't fix the problem until I ran fsck -p . I tried the find again, with the same results, but this time I withdrew the floppy during the pause trying for another type of termination to the find (rather than a system crash, I was hoping for a message that the device was inaccessible and that I could respond in such a way that the command would abort). Unfortunately, the system crashed again. This time, no matter what I did with fsck I couldn't get the file systems cleaned up. Any suggestions? Send responses to me here and to me as GS_Stoller@juno.com . _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
