Next time it happens, we'll examine the inode structures... Perhaps directories or files are being turned into `device nodes'? Seems like a problem with the 2940 driver after SCSI bus timeouts. I've somtimes seen it, too (but only for SCSI buses where more than the disk device is attached). Since it aren't only device nodes, but also have got very weird permissions (including mysterious file flags), i wouldn't suspect fsck. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
