I am building a tool to identify the file that has a specific LBA. The approach I am using is to search through each inode from number 2 up. This approach works well with UFS1 file systems as then preinitialize all the inodes. However, UFS2 does lazy inode initialization so there are

Failed disk sectors

I have a large disk that has several failed sectors. The drive basically is the article storage for news so it has lots of files. Basically the error messages I get during the inn expire operation is there are a couple failed sectors where the drive cannot successfully read the sectors.

I don't know if this is the best place to send this, but I just encountered a problem that took a long time to diagnose. I believe the cause was ypserv terminating. It was definitely gone and when I restarted it, things worked properly again. However, ypserv, and ypbind, to not create a
