Greetings, I know *what* I did, and I knew I shouldn't have done it from prior experience, but, being 1/2 asleep... cd / chflags -R schg * I am no longer able to boot this box: it hangs when trying to mount /dev/ad0s1e. Even worse, I am unable to mount from the fixit to try and undo my mistake. I get an invalid super block error when trying to: mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt or mount /dev/ad0s2 /mnt, etc... I am in the process o rebuilding the box in question, as I don't have time to play with it, but I am curious if anyone knows (1) why chflaging from the root breaks everything, and (2) any way I could have recovered from this? Thanks! -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
