We are running SuSE 9 on a guest under z/VM 5.1. I have been getting a
message from the cron daemon about a problem with the "updatedb" script.
On investigation I found that this script file was corrupted at the end.
My attempts to rsync and edit caused this guest to hang. I had to re-IPL
it many times. When I deleted this file and tried to rsync it from
another, it hung as I was typing.
I found some file corruptions on the root file system (reiserfs). I can
not believe that a file corruption could hang Linux. I have never seen
this happen.
Why on earth not? If linux can't read bits of itself, why would it not fail?
