I'm running FreeBSD 3.2-stable (last cvsup/make-world was yesterday, new kernel installed, etc.). A recent fsck after a bad shutdown left several weird files in /lost+found. They look like character or block device files, with random flag attributes and modes. I read the FAQ/handbook items on using chflags to clean up the flags that keep you from removing the files. But when I attempt to remove them, the system panics every time. I tried it in single user mode, no difference. I booted up the Fixit floppy, mounted the drive, and tried again. Same problem. This happens on the root filesystem's lost+found as well as on the /usr filesystem (which is the only one that has softupdates enabled). What is the trick to cleaning out these /lost+found directories without panicing? Thanks. --Morgan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
