Date: 16 Jul 1993 11:53:08 -0500 Organization: Armstrong Laboratory, Brooks AFB, TX Lines: 21 Message-ID: <226me2$ec1@hrd769.brooks.af.mil> NNTP-Posting-Host: hrd769.brooks.af.mil I am currently using NetBSD 0.8 (recompiled with my config file) and innd 1.4 on a 486/33 EISA Gateway System using an Ultrastor 24F in ISA compatilbility mode. When I mount another system (sun-lamp, wuarchive, the Sun down the hall) and do anything that creates a lot of files (like innd news files or a really big mget under FTP) sometimes, just sometimes, my file system will end up with files with ?--------- as their file mode in an "ls -al" and unreferenced files, and other relatively critical stuff. Sometimes, the problem will go away (i.e. I sync the system and shutdown and the files are all OK again). Other times, the only way to get rid of the files is to shutdown and "fsck -y". Does this sound like a controller cache problem (I can't remember if the controller cache is turned on or not). Remember, this is only a problem when I have an NFS mounted. Anyone have any idea what might be the problem? -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
