Fsck was able to use the next alternate superblock without any problems and the file system was fine. I've been running with a kernel dated 7/31 since that time. Today I started running a -current kernel again, and my / file system had the superblock trashed in the same manner after a clean shutdown and reboot: "NCG out of range" (NCG=# of cylinder groups) was reported by fsck. This one was harder to recover from because the boot manager would simply reboot after doing anything at the "boot:" prompt. I just saw a message in the past day or two from someone else that reported they had a trashed superblock. It looks like something in -current is eating them. Can the other person who saw this problem contact me so we can see if we have something common in our configurations? Anyone else seeing problems like this? Some of my relevant info is: -current kernel, Adaptec 2842VL controller on the file systems that got trashed, and I also run with an Adaptec 1542B in the machine. The disk in question is a Seagate Hawk ST31230N. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@mpp.minn.net "Go that way. Really fast. If something gets in your way, turn"
