I may be wrong, but I am afraid fsck, at this stage, is NOT able to correct the problems. Personally, I booted from *another* FreeBSD slice and ran fsck from there over the "would-be current" partitions :-) After which operation, I was able to complete the (then) dreaded make world. Since then , it has (apparently) worked like charm for me, at least as far as my tasks are concerned :-) HTH, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
