>Description:
After some power/cable fail, i could not boot my machine.
I booted from 3.1 CDROM, ran fixit.
I runned fsck -y /dev/wd0s3* where is my disc and partition.
Well, boot, ...
missing files:
/etc/defaults/rc.conf
missing/directories:
/root/bin
problem area was /root
!!! THERE IS A COPY OF .. IS .^N (probably 'dot'+'\014')
HOW CAN I FIX IT?
===== example
15:16 (0) /root ls -lia
total 88
18860 drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 1024 Apr 19 14:52 .
2 drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Apr 19 12:22 .?
...
15:16 (0) /root ls -lia .?/root
total 88
18860 drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 1024 Apr 19 14:52 .
2 drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Apr 19 12:22 .?
=== example
filnamees were strange UpPerCASeD, directory /root/bin was missing,
but I've found it in /lost+found.
Contents of some files was changed!
instead #!/usr/bin/perl was something like #?psr/bin?pe?l
...
Note: Opened files were not hurted (I think).
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
