Date: 1 Feb 1995 14:51:10 GMT Organization: University of Cape Town Lines: 39 Message-ID: <3go74u$1gj@ucthpx.uct.ac.za> NNTP-Posting-Host: la.ee.uct.ac.za X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi One of the functions of the script /etc/daily (run by cron at 2am) is the checking of the filesystem. It is in this filesystem checking that I regularly get warnings. The output looks like : Checking filesystems: ** /dev/rwd0a (NO WRITE) ** Last Mounted on / ** Root file system UNREF FILE I=59 OWNER=root MODE=100644 SIZE=5753 MTIME=Jan 27 02:00 1995 RECONNECT? no CLEAR? no FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? no 582 files, 10934 used, 3805 free (173 frags, 454 blocks, 1.2% fragmentation) ** /dev/rwd0e (NO WRITE) ** Last Mounted on /usr 8724 files, 117514 used, 61343 free (2951 frags, 7299 blocks, 1.6% fragmentation) I have received this warning 37 times since November 1994. RECONNECT, CLEAR and SALVAGE is always "no", yet running fsck gives no warnings/errors. Should I be worried ? Is it just a matter of time before the filesystem dies permanently ? Are these errors / warnings common in FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 ? Thanks Leon
