Hi all,
There's fire in the house... I recently inserted a USB memory stick and my
5.4 Stable machine rebooted suddenly. I now get the following on boot :
Starting file system checks :
/dev/ad0s3a: UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=2900154
/dev/ad0s3a: UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY.
Automatic file system check failed; help!
Oct. 30 20:14:53 init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to
single user mode
When I run fsck, I get the folllowing :
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=2900154
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY
CLEAR? [yn]
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
DUP/BAD I=2900154 OWNER=root MODE=100644
SIZE=93 MTIME=Mar 25 04:13 2004
FILE=/usr/ports/net/ldapbrowser/distinfo
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY
REMOVE? [yn]
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
LINK COUNT DIR I=2 OWNER=root MODE=40755
SIZE=512 MTIME=Oct 30 17:20 2005 COUNT 21 SHOULD BE 20
ADJUST? [yn]
UNREF FILE I=471058 OWNER=root MODE=100644
SIZE=72 MTIME=Oct 30 19:03 2005
RECONNECT? [yn]
CLEAR? [yn]
I then get similar messages for a dozen files, then :
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD
SALVAGE? [yn]
BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS
SALVAGE? [yn]
FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK
SALVAGE? [yn]
And so on... Should I just answer yes to all questions and hope for the
best, or is there a better way of saving the day ? Needless to say, my whole
system is on /dev/ad0s3a.
Also, what could have caused the problem ? I recently updated my kernel to
include HFS support. Could it be linked ?
Thanks all,
Edward
