Then if you run fsck /dev/rwd0s1e the fsck program (which is what gave you the error message) will give you a chance to decide what changes should be made so the filesystem can be used. While you're in single-user mode, you may as well cat /etc/fstab and run fsck on any other filesystems. Just be sure to add the "r" (if the fstab has a /dev/wd0s1f, do "fsck /dev/rwd0s1f"). Data is likely to be lost, so your backups (if you have any) may come in handy. > how to resolve this problem , to enter the freebsd interface, and complete > the kernel load The real problem is likely that the computer crashed or lost power. If it lost power, you might look into a UPS or just tell the people who have access to it not to suddenly power it off (I have no remote users, so I just press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to leave from X, then Ctrl+Alt+Delete to shut down). If you can't avoid the problem, you should probably stop using soft updates, if you're using them now. I've gotten more corruption when they're enabled before a crash. __ Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
