Hi, folks!=0AI am in the middle of really creepy problem with my new FreeBS=
D box. I would appreciate any ideas about what the hell happened.=0A=0AI've=
 installed FreeBSD 9.0 from CD on IBM System x3550 server (with RAID-5 on 4=
 hard drives) and moved on it the most of config's from my old FreeBSD (8.2=
) box, and everything seemed working fine for some days. Long story short, =
today I realised, that I can't login nether through ssh or console, some th=
ird-party soft doesn't work, and most of utilities from base system doesn't=
 work too.=9A=0AMy /usr/sbin and /usr/libdata are completely gone, /usr/lib=
exec is empty, /usr/bin contains only dtrace dir and librt.so.1 many files =
from /usr/bin are gone, /usr/src contains only directory with my kernconf (=
there was all sources) and /usr/ports contains only ports I've installed.=
=0ATime of access to all deleted or semi-deleted dirs is almost the same, b=
ut I didn't find any weird actions in logs. First, I thought that portsnap =
(runned by cron) somehow corrupted my system, but it was executed like eigh=
t hours earlier.=9A=0ANo one but me has access to this box, so it's unlikel=
y mean joke.=0A=0ASo, please, please, help me. I really do not know what I =
suppose to do now. I can't find out why this happened, so it would be usele=
ss just reinstall system -- I'll have this situation again. All this stuff =
repeated twice -- so it is not kind of glitch (last time a cvsuped sources =
and ports and thought it was the reason of crash).
