It doesn't respond to further pressing of ^T. I wonder if you have hardware failure..it seems to be hung trying to read from the disk. Is your disk SMART compliant, I wonder (many are)? Does you BIOS show SMART status on boot? (Mine does, but it insists on clearing the screen just after it shows it, requiring deft use of Pause-other key-Pause-... to see it properly). If the BIOS is no help then try booting single user and taking /var out of fstab, then installing smartmontools (you'd need to have network stuff configured so probably need to go multi-user before doing this). I also notice that this looks like a RAID disk (/dev/ar* is IDE raid is it not?). I'm not that familiar with RAID setups (yet), but is this hardware RAID and does the controller not tell you anything? If it's mirrored, can you try un-raiding and then seeing if any disk alone works? --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can't login with /var was not properly dismounted
Hi, My FreeBSD 5.4 machine stopped responding and I pressed the reset button (even SSH from a different machine didn't work). After restart, I got /usr and /var were not properly dismounted message and it hangs. I logged on in single mode and done fsck -y /usr as suggested in a google search. /usr was cleaned. But when I try to do the same on /var the machine hangs. At first I thought it was taking a long time, but there is no disk activity. Please help me so that I can log back to the machine. Thanks, Amer, PS. I run amd64 FreeBSD 5.4 release generic kernel. /var is about 1GB and /usr is 30GB. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
