To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD-current users) Date: Sun, 5 Mar 1995 15:47:45 +0100 (MET) Reply-To: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de (Joerg Wunsch) X-Phone: +49-351-2012 669 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 904 Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've just accidentally started gdb and being caught by the `usual' panic. But i've been rather surprised, remembering back, that gdb actually *worked* 10 minutes ago on the same binary! (I'm typing the ``gdb foo'' command blindly without thinking as soon as i've been seeing something like ``Segmentation fault (core dumped).'', so did i in this case.) I also noticed (this was with a 950210-SNAP kernel) that the fsck -p did not complain about any inconsistencies in the file system other than the statistics, but it *silently* truncated my files to zero length. Sounds like a bug to me. (Previously i remember that i've seen something like ``Incorrect block count, 4 should be 0 (fixed)'' in this case, which was a clear signal to not trust the files.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
