Hurra !
I resolved!

Excellent!


Obviously newfs did not resolve. :-(
But...
i studied the problem from another point of view reading dump sources, as you suggested.
dump thinks that file has changed if :
a) modification date has changed
b) cdate has changed : cdate is the date of inode modification

throught stat utility (very nice) i noticed that every file under /home had a cdate very recent. comparing dates i got solution : sophos antivirus, that starts every night with a complete /home scan, modifies cdate. Unfortunately i installed sophos antivirus more or less in the same days of the power cut ...

Damn.  Kicking myself for not asking you about cdate.


I think that sophos support will receive a question in the next few days ... :-)

Shame your email can't include a big kick in the pants for whoever a) thought this was a good idea in the first place b) didn't pick up such dumb behaviour in testing.
