Though, I'm with you -- it looks like an error. I'd be pretty interested to see the output echo $? after getting the Class not found message. That is to say, I wonder what the return status of fdisk is after receiving that message. It may be zero -- indicating success -- in which case we're reaffirmed that the output is completely spurious and able to be ignored. -- Devin Something you might also want to try is zapping the disk (wiping all contents) prior to trying again: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da5 -- Chris Hill ch...@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging / ] _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

Suddenly lots processes exits signal 11 (core dumped)
Hi list, I have a system running FreeBSD 7.3. Its main function is running Postfix SMTP server and a few perl based content filters. Nothing exotic really. It has been nicely up and running approx 150 days when it suddenly starts behaving very strange. First I noticed a converter script failing. It is basically a small shell script that converts a quite big file replacing a few words using sed. The output is mostly damaged. Another problem is that lots of processes exits signal 11 (core dumped). And I need to restart them by hand. See dmesg output below. I know I don't give you guys much to go on. I just want to know it it's possible to find out somehow if some hardware is failing and must be changed. My first thought was overheating. But my collegue went to the site and he said the hardware is not hot at all. TIA, Mikael # dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.

Execute: echo p 2 0x0c * * | fdisk -f - /dev/da5 NOTE: again, assuming `da5' is your thumb drive tripel# echo p 2 0x0c * * | fdisk -f - /dev/da0 *** Working on device /dev/da0 *** fdisk: Class not found tripel# Hmmm. Odd. That's worked for me on FreeBSD-4.11, 6.1, 7.2, and 8.1 (both i386 and amd64). What's the output of: uname -spr Also, after completing the dd(1) command, what's the output of: fdisk -p /dev/da5 It should look something like this: # /dev/da5 g c31 h64 s32 p 1 0x17 1 64259 a 1 Something you might also want to try is zapping the disk (wiping all contents) prior to trying again: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da5 I once had a thumb drive that had slackware on it that needed to be zapped in the above manner before it worked properly. -- Devin Any notion why? `man fdisk` isn't much help.
