Hi, I have a system with hardware raid, which has had some hardware troubles. The state this machine is in is now: The raid configuration is OK, but the filesystem somehow broke seriously. If I mount it under FreeBSD 5.4 (which is wat the system was running at the time) it completely _hangs_ (not even kernel panic) when accessing certain directories. Under 6.x not everything is OK, but at least the system does not hang. Now the problem is that I lost some directory trees, and I am looking for ways to see if I recover them. The obvious first step would be fsck, but the fs is so broken it gives me: root@:~# fsck /dev/da0s1f ** /dev/da0s1f (NO WRITE) cannot alloc 18446744067446403432 bytes for inphead root@:~# df -h /dev/da0s1f Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1f 64G -58T 58T -100219% /var/disk Google did not help much, has anybody any clue to how I can get fsck to run properly? Robin
