Meanwhile my system got updated to FreeBSD abc.xyz.de 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Jan 22 11:17:16 CET 2000 The system is complete soft-updates free. This time I had no jailed processes running; the machine was idle most of the time during the last few days and was rebooted (cleanly), yesterday. The (now totally hosed) file-system was mounted thru the following fstab-entry: /dev/da1s1g /scratch ufs rw 2 2 Today I incidentally noticed that the directory /scratch was empty all of the sudden. I should have found various sub-directories, especially since I built the world on this disk a few days ago. Nonetheless 'df' showed the filesystem as 45% filled. I was able to unmount and mount the filesystem without(!!) an error. There were definately no related messages in the logs or on the console. Starting an 'fsck' results in: cage:[/] # fsck /scratch ** /dev/da1s1g ** Last Mounted on /scratch ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes PARTIALLY TRUNCATED INODE I=16 SALVAGE? [yn] ^C ***** FILE SYSTEM MARKED DIRTY ***** I interrupted the fsck-run as soon as I decided that it might be advisable to leave it in its hosed state just for the case that there is some illuminated filesystem-hacker who would like to take a peek. (I would allow ssh-access to the box ...)
