This was UFS2 if I remeber well. Did your kernel and userland get out of sync? At some point prior to the RELENG_5_0 branch, the format of the superblock for UFS2 changed -- on booting a new kernel, the superblock was upgraded, but older kernels and boot loaders could no longer read it, so you had to make sure to upgrade the boot blocks also. > fetch: http://www.watson.org/~robert/scan_ffs_freebsd4.tgz: Not Found Sorry, should be: http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/scan_ffs_freebsd4.tgz > What is correct URL? It could be useable for me in a future. I should update it for FreeBSD 5 -- there may already patches floating around for that.
