Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to really look at it. > The error can be traced back to this check in growfs.c > if (inumber < ROOTINO || inumber > maxino) > errx(8, "bad inode number %d to ginode", inumber); I know this error very well.

Surprisingly, I can then run an fsck and growfs again and it works. cheers, le -- Lukas Ertl http://homepage.univie.ac.at/l.ertl/ le@FreeBSD.org http://people.freebsd.org/~le/
