This is a sub-optimal configuration. Please enable soft-updates on the root file system ("tunefs -n enable /" in single-user mode, then reboot, and verify after rebooting with "mount" that it really is enabled). This might fix your problem, or at least alleviate it. If you have power failures very often, you should also consider getting a UPS. Frequent power failures are particularly bad for hard disks; they can cause physical damage. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
