Kukulies" Subject: spurious problems with a P150 system To: freebsd-current@freefall.FreeBSD.org Message-id: <199603291708.SAA24113@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I added a new FreeBSD machine recently (P150, Triton CS, 2x1.5GB IDE (ick),NE2000(ick), 32MB). I sup -current over ethernet locally from blues (sup1.de.freebsd.org) daily and build world and kernel. Now and then it happens now that files are clobbered. For example today I had a totally corrupt /usr/include/sys/errno.h containing ^H, @ and a lot of characters with bits flipped in them so it seemed. I wonder how this can happen. Bad hardware?, network card?, cache? memory? The system can build world on the other hand w/o problems once there is no corrupt file in the tree. I tend to assume a network/hw problem. Both systems are running -current. --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
