Hi, I experienced a file corruption a while ago, this is how it happend:
I was configuring Xfree with pico editing the /etc/X11/XF86config file on a vt terminal with pico. On another virtual terminal I tried to start xinit with a regular user. Unfortunately, xinit hanged and I had to press the reset button. On startup I didn't pay attention to what reiserfs printed about the fs-check(it always handles it perfectly) but when I opened /etc/X11/XF86config the last line contained "UUUUUUUUUUUUU". Well, wasn't it just me sleeping on the u-button? First of all, I must have saved it and then X would have told me the configuration file is broken - not hang(which was caused by my excellent choices in the X config file..). System: A clean install of Slackware 8.0 kernel 2.4.17 with preemption A plain 25gb IDE disk on ide0 (hda) This is what fdisk tells me about my partition table: Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3111 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 256 2056288+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 257 3023 22225927+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 257 510 2040223+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 511 894 3084448+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda7 895 1532 5124703+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda8 1533 2297 6144831 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda9 2298 2744 3590496 83 Linux native /dev/hda10 2745 3000 2056288+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda11 3001 3023 184716 82 Linux swap partition 9 is my root partition. best regards, Frans Englich
