That was running from a FreeBSD 7.0 on a 160GB HD. I was looking at this question: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-December/016043.html and I have been given the same advice that I am just not ready to acquiesce to (I know I am not much of a sysadmin until I do, though), i.e. retrieve data and reinstall the operating system. I have results of fsdb of my own: http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inodes/pa180020.vhtml but I don't have quite the same absurdity, i.e. a file that has more bits than atoms in the universe (well.. that's a BIT of an exaggeration) I am thinking, though that the fact that GEN=ffffffffb5f6de87 might be an absurd value. Is that the case? I found multiple inodes with this configuration.
