X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:16:48 -0000 Last Friday my 8.0-CURRENT/amd64 box suffered a crash--no idea if it panicked, I was running X11--after which all filesystems were so badly corrupted that I had to reinstall the machine. This was a vanilla setup, UFS2 and UFS2+S, -CURRENT about a week old at the time. Yesterday it crashed again and while other filesystems survived, /usr was again too damaged for fsck to recover it. fsck -y showed thousands of errors in the "unexpected soft update inconsistency" class, starting with many "partially allocated inode"s, and eventually asked to be re-run, which produced only more of the same. I wonder if fsck didn't cause most of the corruption itself. I realize this isn't exactly helpful as a bug report, but what can I do. Something in -CURRENT from the last two weeks or so, maybe specific to amd64, maybe not, may eat filesystems. Since I actually use the box and can't afford to reinstall it once or twice a week, I've moved it to RELENG_7 for the time being. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
