fsdb yields GEN=ffffffffb5f6de87

[Kayven Riese]

I was running a java make job and did a du last week and suddenly brought my

frankenstein ASUS M6800N Notebook to a frozen mouse state. That was running
from a FreeBSD 7.0 on a 160GB HD.  I was looking at this question:

and I have been given the same advice that I am just not ready to acquiesce
to
(I know I am not much of a sysadmin until I do, though), i.e. retrieve data
and
reinstall the operating system.  I have results of fsdb of my own:

but I don't have quite the same absurdity, i.e. a file that has more bits
than
atoms in the universe (well.. that's a BIT of an exaggeration)

I am thinking, though that the fact that GEN=ffffffffb5f6de87 might be
an absurd value.  Is that the case?  I found multiple inodes with this
configuration.
