I've just managed to trash a build33 system by attempting to copy the /export/home filesystem from another server with rsync.

The rsync process started tho throw up I/O errors and on reboot, the system can't find files in /etc/devices. Before I reset the system, most commands (ls, df...) were failing with bus errors.

The system (Gigabyte nForce3, single Seagate 200Gb SATA drive) was built with separate / and /export/home slices and the rsync destination was on /export/home.

So I've either got a duff drive, or something very nasty has happened.

With the I/O errors you're seeing, I'd suspect you've got a bad drive.

That's what I thought, but the drive was fresh out of the packet. I'll check it out.
