Thank you Bret, that was very helpful. I found the following corrupted
files on a newly installed Tribe 5. / is XFS and /boot is Reiser3.
debsums: checksum mismatch firefox file /usr/lib/firefox/components/libuconv.so
debsums: checksum mismatch firefox file
/usr/lib/firefox/components/libgklayout.so
debsums: checksum mismatch gnome-utils file
/usr/share/gnome/help/baobab/fr/figures/baobab_fullscan.png
debsums: checksum mismatch libc6 file /usr/lib/gconv/libCNS.so
debsums: checksum mismatch ttf-dejavu-extra file
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
And on another system, all Reiser3 I found:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat debsums.txt|grep mismatch|cut -d ' ' -f4|uniq|wc -l
140!!!
So I quickly reinstalled with:
debsums -s &> debsums.txt
cat debsums.txt|grep mismatch|cut -d ' ' -f4|uniq|xargs apt-get -y --force-yes
--reinstall install
And everything seems to be OK now. Gutsy is very crashy with the desktop
effects enabled so it might explain the corruption from all the
rebooting. I thought Reiser and XFS were supposed to protect me from
that so there might be a bug in the kernel. I have also disabled the
write cache on my drives with hdparm -W0 /dev/sda as recommended by the
SGI folks to see if it helps .
My /etc/hdparm.conf now contains the following additions.
/dev/sda {
write_cache = off
}
/dev/sdb {
write_cache = off
}
