So... I was doing a portmaster -af today because vlc stopped = playing audio (for some reason ... I kind of went on a pkg_cutleaves = rampage and probably deinstalled too much stuff), and the machine = hardlocked during an upgrade. I did a soft reboot and saw messages along = the lines of "your journal and filesystem mount time mismatched; running = a full fsck". I figured "ok, sure..." and let it do it's thing. Problem = was that it pruned a lot of stuff from my /usr partition -- including = the .sujournal !!! So now it's stuck at Mounting local file systems: = stating: Failed to find journal. Use tunefs to create one Failed to start journal: 2 (I assume the 2 means ENOENT). All of the above were printf(9)'s = from the kernel. Now the machine won't continue in multiuser mode (doesn't = respond to interrupts, no panic, etc). Going into ddb, I don't see = anything in info_threads (just a bunch of references to sched_switch, a = few to fork_trampoline, cpustop_handler, and kdb_enter). I'm going to = try and massage the machine back to life from single user mode, but the = fact that this died in this way (i.e. .sujournal getting nuked by a full = fsck) is a bit disheartening for SU+J :(... It would be nice if at least = the fsck aborted before going and nuking the journal :/... (or at the = very least if the file wasn't removable -- i.e. SF_NOUNLINK). Here's to hoping I can resuscitate the filesystem... Thanks, -Garrett=
