No such luck. First came "syncing disks" which ended with 1 1 1 1 and gave up. Then when the kernel tried to dump, it hung after "dump" and eventually gave up with an "I/O error" of some sort. Then when I pressed a key to forestall a reboot so I could write some of this down, the machine rebooted anyway. The automatic fsck failed with an unexpected softupdates inconsistency. I ran fsck manually, and then, as an experiment, ran it again. The second time, it found a link count of -11 that should have been 2 that it missed during the first manual run! Just for kicks: soft updates, latest source, BT-948, two SCSI disks, one processor, a.out, no special patches running. Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
