It probably then tried to overwrite the /bin/sh and failed, and for some broken reason decided to then delete /bin/sh! This is really icky behavior imo. If you are running softupdates on your / partition, I suggest you turn them off while installing world, this will prevent you from running out of disk space, because softupdates doesn't immediatly free blocks from deleted files you can get "out of space" errors, which makes "install" attempt to overwrite. If you are not running softupdates on /, I seriously suggest you try to clear some space. try locating "sh" in the compile tree and manually putting it in /bin, then try this: mount -o sync -u / cd /usr/src ; make reinstall when done: mount -u / good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
