inode problems...
Just to bring you (and the -questions list) up to date re my 4.9-RELEASE snafu. I did a upgrade last night. I have stable-supfile pointing to RELENG_4_9. I was trying to get back to 4.9-STABLE. No-joy. I now have FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p4 #4: Thu Apr 8 19:50:47 PDT 2004. I don't know if this upgrade made any difference, but I think I fixed my partially alloc'd and otherwise bad inode by hand. find / -inum [inode] -print showed me what was whhere and I dealt with each one. Bottom line is that fsck now runs clean; no errors. I think I'll hack fsck to output a -L logfile in /var/log. I could script it with " |& tee logfile" too. In rare cases like these, having a log of inodes could be a great help. gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

At leas twice my 4.9-RELEASE has died and upon trying to reboot, I've gotten stalled and thrown into single-user mode and asked to fsck by-hand. fsck -y has worked so far---it failed once this morniing; then worked. I've found some bad, partially-allocated inodes. fsck rm'd/cleared these and I lost several essential files. I've been up/booted since around 10.00 and have been been tarballing and scp'ing things to other servers... just in case. -STABLE seemed to be stable, surprise:), but then, who knows? It's a 3-year-old IDE and it might have been bumped. (?) > > > Suggestions?

If your asking how to use dd for moving your data to another (bigger) disk please see the faq, it has an entry on this. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
any unusual inode problems with 4.9-RELEASE?
For the past few days I'm seeing serious inode problems on my 40G drive. Has anybody seen unusual troubles with inodes on FreeBSD-4.9-RELEASE? If not, maybe I'd better get a second drive and dd over? I was running 4.9-STABLE prev, and didn't see any major problems. Suggestions? Do I have to create one huge slight filesystem, mount it and dd or what? thanks much, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
