Hi there, I have a 5.2 box which I use as a general purpose server in my house. It has been a very good box up to now. I noticed that it wasn't responding last night so I took a look at it and there was a message which read: "panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch". Not thinking much of it other than "Oh an error, oh well <reboot>". I rebooted it. Now it refuses to boot. As soon as the login prompt appears I receive the same panic and the machine reboots. I did a google on it and found that the problem might be ram or hard disk. I ran memtest over the system a few times but that didn't yield any results. I then booted off an old 5.0 live disk I had and pulled off any files which I needed. So I haven't lost any critical data but I am wondering what to do next. The system was very stable off the live disk with no errors so it makes me wonder if it really is the disk which has gone. I was thinking about trying a binary upgrade to 5.3 to see if that fixed the problem since there is no way to keep the system stable enough to buildworld/kernel. The only change made in the last week was the fetch patch. Thoughts?
