Hello,
lately I was stuck to ufs_baddir on /, right as it in ufs_lookup.c
("mangled entry"). It took me some 2 days of constant hitting reset button
to realize it since the machine would either not reboot and just
"freeze" or reboot without giving a dump or something. Once I was lucky to
see that the inode is mangled, since it finally got frozen when it was
trying to sync disks, reboot and failed with mp_lock() on CPU0.
I wonder why would it be so shy when it a) has broken FS, b) can't reboot
properly, c) can't reboot when has SMP in use?
The machine is ELF 3.0R, kernel aout, but it doesn't make any difference since
it was the same during those days it was 3.0-current as of 24.04/21.05-1998
during last week or two.
I also broke the reset button on the machine since the attitude to it got
a bit less gentle as it was, but that's another issue.
Thanks in advance,
