Long story short, today I realised, that I can't login nether through ssh or console, some third-party soft doesn't work, and most of utilities from base system doesn't work too. > My /usr/sbin and /usr/libdata are completely gone, /usr/libexec 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. > Time of access to all deleted or semi-deleted dirs is almost the same, Do you look carefully in /var/log/cron for this same time ? Another thought, give you filesystem layout. but 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 eight hours earlier. > No one but me has access to this box, so it's unlikely mean joke.

I can't find out why this happened, so it would be useless just reinstall system -- I'll have this situation again. All this stuff repeated twice Same time, day of the week ? -- so it is not kind of glitch (last time a cvsuped sources and ports and thought it was the reason of crash).
