eval: fsck: Exec format error

[Siju George]

Hi,

I was upgrading the server to new src and got this error.



=== sbin/newfs_hammer
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   newfs_hammer /sbin
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 newfs_hammer.8.gz  /usr/share/man/man8
=== sbin/newfs_msdos
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   newfs_msdos /sbin
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 newfs_msdos.8.gz  /usr/share/man/man8
=== sbin/nfsd
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   nfsd /sbin

: write failed, filesystem is full


and the system paniced

i did a 'call dumpsys' and rebooted but it gave this error.

eval:fsck:Exec format error and I dropped into the shell prompt.

I cant execute fsck due to the following error.

Thanks

None of the errors you posted recently make sense by themselves but there's a
pattern -- your hardware is dying

I had a look at the core dumps you put on leaf. In both cases, the root cause
of the panics was a failure of the ad8 hard drive to execute a command.

Sadly, the last two errors are consistent with data corruption.

If you value your data, you should get it off this machine now. With luck,
only the hard drive is failing but a bad power supply could also cause these
sorts of errors and slowly kill most of the components.

I guessed that and ordered a new machine yesterday.
Thanks for the Confirmation :-)
