Sender: news Subject: unexpected softupdate inconsistency X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 08:09:15 -0000 Hi there, System is FreeBSD 4.9 Stable Had a problem during a portupgrade that when portupgrade did some cleaning a directory could not be deleted because it were not empty. However, it was empty. rm -rf didn't help either. Because I didn't know what to do I decided to boot. At system startup fsck was started which produced the message: unexpected softupdate inconsistency and also that some blocks could not be written to. At the end fsck said: filesystem still dirty and I should run fsck manually which I did but without any success. After that I rebooted from CD and did two backups of the filesystem using dump and tar. Both commands complained at the locations where the file system was corrupt but the backup went fine besides that. I checked for hardware errors by running dd if=/dev/ad0s1g of=/dev/null bs=32k Ran fine without any complains. After recreating the filesystem with newfs and restoring the data I'm fine for now. I should mention that I did not find any related messages in /var/log/messages. However, I'm really worried. Is there anybody I could do??? -- Manfred
