H$X!!!!!111 i still have some git rebase operations (which are notably disk-active) fail from time to time with "impossible" reasons (for example: something like "cherry picking failed", or something like "cannot move git-rebase-new to git-rebase-todo: file does not exist"). i'd note that the hard drive is kind of old (>7 years), and i recently had the power cut during port build operations twice, although the (UFS) filesystem is fsck-clean. has anyone experienced anything like this? what is the possibility of a filesystem/kernel bug or fsck bug? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
