System (most likely only the console) froze, hit reset, fsck ran because the clean bit wasn't set, undeletable directories remained. Rebooted into single user mode, manually ran fsck -y which cleared the problem (or appeared to). I've also had problems with odd undeletable files, which I just booted into single user mode and clri'd (with the same kernel). > Was soft updates enabled?

Well, the kernel was built ~Sept 12th. I've cvsup'd numerous times since then so I don't have exact RCS IDs. If I can build a non CAM kernel some way to test this, I'd do it. But I'm somewhat leery of building a CAMified kernel as this has proven itself to be bad idea when combined with softupdatse. > In any case, under no circumstances should the disks be in a > state that results in files in lost+found if soft updates is > working. Good to see I'm not loosing my mind (yet). - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
