My root partition appeared to be okay, but after trying to revive my X partition I fsck'ed it and my /usr partition and they are all Fried! This happened once before when I was in X and Daily started up, but I thought it was just a fluke. The File Well, it's hard to say since certainly the daily script shouldn't have any deleterious effects on your file system, since `fsck -n' doesn't write on the file system (I still question the wisdom of doing this from daily, since it just slows my system down during peak hours [for me! :-)]). >System was revivable that time. Can anyone shed some light on this one? >Oh yeah, BTW I'm using FreeBSD 1.0.2. A sample of my fstab follows for anyone I can't say for sure - perhaps your IDE drive has developed some bad blocks on it? IDE drives tend to do that, not to mention having no automatic forwarding of bad blocks, which is why I refuse to touch one with a stick (SCSI! SCSI!). Jordan -- Jordan K.
