Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Our Web/FTP server had to be rebooted again today after another instance of the "silent hang" problem (pingable, can switch virtual consoles, but no other activity possible). fsck ran and recovered the following files: twirl:/usr/httpd/lost+found# ls -l total 7 br-s--x-w- 17133 2505213093 3885937568 10, 1256784081 Sep 14 1946 #061456 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6049 Mar 16 14:09 #061466 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 802 Mar 15 19:33 #061467 brws-ws--- 32141 3468532397 3483065215 88, 2133786667 Apr 11 03:13 #061471 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 0 Mar 18 00:01 #061476 The filesystem holds our entire Apache document tree. The first two regular files are log files for one of our virtual domains, and I don't know what the third is. But what could have created the two block special files?
