It just overwrite the limit of /usr and /var. I reboot it couple times, it still ok, but suddenly one day, all the files are gone, I can only boot to / and use sh. it shows no files there. I can't even use "ls". it ask me to fsck. When I install another fbsd on another HD, I mount the old fbsd partition, and I can see old files there, but it's /usr and /var directories' files are gone. Is there any ways to recover those files. thanks >How-To-Repeat: keep copy files to /usr and /var, overwrite the size limit of /usr and /var. use "df" and see if it's negative % usage or availablity. it's like if /usr directory's size is 200M, but u keep copy files, like 250M to /usr, it will just overwrite. it won't crash, cause it has reserved space for it, when "df", it only shows negative %. reboot PC couple times, or running other OS, until one day, suddenly, u can only boot to / and find no files there. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
