Hi all, I'm seeing a strange problem with some files getting corrupted on a FreeBSD disk. The machine in question is running 2.0.5-950622-SNAP. I am using it as a News Server, NFS Server, Mail (POP & SMTP) Server, Samba Server, and for storing some source code with RCS. All work very well except for the following... The problem is with our RCS files, every few days, one or two rcs files appear with 1024 null characters in it, overwriting a block of valid data in the file (loads of these - ^@^@^@^@^@^@^) ouch ! The RCS tree is NFS mounted on a number of various unix platforms, and people check-out and check-in the files on these platforms (over NFS). Could the problem be related to NFS file locking problems, or is it a symptom of some other form of filesystem corruption. My setup is as follows P5-90 (running 2.0.5-950622-SNAP) 32MByte Memory Bus Logic BT946 PCI SCSI controller. Seagate ST15150N 4GByte SCSI Disk ( RCS tree on this disk) Quantum VP32210 2Gbyte SCSI Disk SMC PCI Network card (Digital DC21040 Ethernet chip) Any help (or workarounds) would be much appreciated.
