Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, It was my impression that /usr/obj was only used during the process of doing a make update, make buildworld, etc... and that you could safely toast it afterwards if you should happen to temporarily need more space since it would be toasted anyway by the next build. Is this not correct? Well, I toasted it, and now I have a very strange /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that seems to be truncated at line 2373, and /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk appears to be an unreadable binary file (strings just shows garbage). Any suggestions as to what I can do to recover?
