Hello,
I have a amd64 8.0-RELEASE-P2 FreeBSD box. I was building a spam/av
gateway. Something has happened and there seems to be some OS
corruption. I am not sure what did it but symlinks all over the system
seem to be gone. Links like /home pointing at /usr/home. The data is
still there in /usr/home/user_blah but the link pointing there is gone.
There could be more issues that I have not discovered yet. I would like
to repair the base os from the 8.0 DVD. I believe I should use the
livecd/fixit method. Is this the right way to go about doing this? Are
there some concise instructions for this? Will this affect the installed
ports, ie. things like getting rid of all the configs in /usr/local/etc,
rc.conf, passwd, /etc/groups ? I imagine I will need to reinstall all
the ports like one would do after a buildworld.
Any help would be appreciated.
Peter
