Commands are reported as not found, cd reports not found as well. New processes can not start, system becomes unusable and unstable. Soft reboot procedure is unable to complete properly (panics), data loss may occur. This can be a very serious problem when an admin attempts to do some disk configuration on a live system. >How-To-Repeat: System is an Intel D815EEA2 Desktop Board, 850Mhz Celeron CPU, 256MB RAM. Tested with an IBM and Seagate 20 gig hd. ad0 == root hd, ad2 == blank, unmounted hd. /stand/sysinstall Configure Fdisk ad2 A)ll S)et bootable W)rite Standard Quit, Cancel, Cancel, Exit /stand/sysinstall Configure Label ad2 C, 512M, Swap C, <default values with remainder of drive>, FS, / W)rite, Y Quit, Cancel, Cancel, Exit root@qos:~# ls bash: ls: command not found root@qos:~# uname -a bash: /usr/bin/uname: No such file or directory root@qos:~# cd /usr/bin bash: cd: /usr/bin: No such file or directory root@qos:~# echo * * >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
