Unable to newfs/fsck partition on -current because of write failed.
I'm running -current from september, 14 on my notebook. After an unclean shutdown (out of batteri) my /var filesystem died horrible. Now when i'm trying to do a fsck I always get write failed for a lot of blocks. I saw this error some months ago where I just wiped the fs with newfs. But now even newfs gives me Write failed. This seems a bit odd because i can easily do a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s2d and clear out the label. Any hints ? I'm thinking geom and/or blocksize problems. But that's just a guess. -- Cheers, Nicolai Petri ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This happened just around September 14th, so I suggest you either upgrade your kernel or use a kernel built before September 14th.
