Setting up a new box as a mail server. Installed 3.4-R on it a couple of days ago. cvsupped to 3.4-S yesterday. Made world and kernel. Stress tested it and it seems stable. I have soft-updates turned on in the root fs. Was trying to copy it to another machine. Using tar in the root. However, just before I removed all the work directories from ports to make the tar file smaller: /usr/ports # find . -name work > /tmp/z I checked the file here /usr/ports # xargs rm -rf < /tmp/z This reduced the fs from 2.6GB to 800MB / # tar cvfl all.tar / interruped this and changed the flags / # tar cvpfl all.tar / This produced loads of: handle_workitem_freefile: got error 5 while accessing filesystem up the console. I interrupted the tar and tried to look at the fs. 'ls' produced a display which seemed similar to having the -R flag and, but I was just doing "ls -al". i.e. it recursed dirs, with complaints of I/O errors on lots of the directories. CTRL-ALT-DEL wouldn't bring the machine down, so I had to reset it. After the boot-up fsck all seemed okay. Any ideas what that was? Softupdate problems? Cheers.
