Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I did a very stupid thing in that I turned off my PC after not being able to run the shutdown command. The result is that I've had to run (fsck) manually. It has run through; Phase 1 Phase 2 - Check pathnames Phase 3 - Check connectivity Phase 4 - Check pathnames It is on phase 4 that I experience difficulties, it seems to blow up with; pid 13 (fsck), uid 0: exited on signal 11 # The system has fixed 11 bad blocks and most of the damage seems slight and repairable, document files and src libraries etc. Does anyone know if it is possible to continue, or do I need to start all over with a fresh installation? Thank you in advance for any thoughts/suggestions. John -- John O'Farrell mailto:john@o-farrell.com http://www.o-farrell.com/ +44 (0)1273 709144
