I'm simply curious about the following problem. I sum it up to be
a disk drive that went out (I'll try a format, if that doesn't work, it's
gonna be toss time).
uname:
FreeBSD walrus 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT
2000
jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
Problem:
You can telnet to the box just fine, a security program called nessus was
running on it last week, top displays this:
70550 root 61 0 4324K 4012K RUN 64.0H 98.54% 98.54% nessusd
Obviously this task is "stuck". Trying to kill this task, kills your
telnet connection to the server (no error message given, just
disconnects). Trying to kill any task does this, actually.
# ls
Segmentation fault
Pretty bad, eh?
uptime/top/lots of other commands seem to work just fine, however.
# more test
test: Input/output error
It also would appear that some partitions (all on the same disk, ad0) are
more damaged than others, for example, in /etc, I cannot tail, grep, more,
cat much less anything else any of the files in there.
# fsck
bash: /sbin/fsck: Input/output error
So, this is what I'm wondering: How could this have happened? Is it what
it appears to be, a bad disk. Or could it be the nessus program - somehow
goofing up the partitions/fat? I'll be rebooting the box later today to
see how it goes -- I'm sure I'll end up replacing the disk however.
