Guys,
I think I've found the reason for the intermittent rashes.
Part of /var is bad, and fsck cannot allocate inoinfo to repair
the damage.
At any rate, how do i as root, single user, cp -rp all of /var to
elsewhere (/storage) and rmdir /var, them mkdir /var and copy
everything back?? I've forgotten the cpio magic command.
I'll do same while i'm at it with /usr/home -> home, if that is
advisable. tao2 has been rebooting automatically in an infinite
loop for about .5 hour. I managed to go single-user. Time to
ask peoples' suggestions.
gary
