I didn't get *ANY* mail from my mailing lists for the last 48 houts. Why? I'm not 100% sure. I was seeing odd things happening. refile wasn't working. It would unlink from my inbox, but never link in my destination file. Ditto my slocal script. Ditto mv!!!! So, I've backed out the kernel that I built with the ext2fs file system stuff and won't be making patches available. In fact, I'd *STRONGLY* suggest that a good fs kernel hacker take a good, long look at the code. I think I'd see the same sorts of things if I was running -current given the nature of the changes of the code. On a related note, does anybody know how to tell FreeBSD to force fsck to *ALWAYS*ALWAYS*ALWAYS* fsck the disk, ignoring the Clean flag? I found about 10 very large files that weren't referenced anywhere and I had assumed the dialy cron job output was merely reporting the tmp files that were for the batch jobs running at the time. I'll go poking in my rc files, but thought someone might know. Didn't see anything in sysconfig. I was hitting my system very hard. Like doing all kinds of CVS operations on the entire linux source tree (my own private CVS tree) which is about a 25M tree. I upgraded from 1.3.68 -> 1.3.96 in about 25 steps doing builds, commits, updates -jx -jy, tags, etc. It appears that the unlinked files (which were a little corrupted, btw) don't correlate to this at all, but all but 10 were from the time I started with the new kernel. The 10 date from when I was installing 2.1R. Yow! Be careful out there! Warner
