Hi, I installed 2.1.6 about a week ago. After running fine for a couple of days, I was in X and things apparently started to deteriorate. I lost my shell in /usr/local/bin and various X11R6 executables were no longer executable. I found stuff like my bin directory and dozens more files (the ones I touched?) were all zero length files. I manually fsck'd. It looked like mainly directories were gone. I decided to reinstall. And, it happened again. This time, I was in X playing a music CD and bringing up Netscape. The cursor locked and the screen blanked and the machine rebooted. I had many bad files in the manual fsck of my /usr file system. I have a NEC p133 w/Aurora motherboard with 48M RAM that includes the S3 Trio64V+ and the Vibra 16 chips. I have a Toshiba XM-5401B SCSI CD-ROM drive and a Micropolis 4.2G AV SCSI drive and the Adaptec 2940 controller. Also, I have the 3com 3c590 pci ethernet card. What is killing my file system? How can I prevent this? I will try to figure this out, but I thought someone might have run into this and can tell me what to change. -keith -- Keith A.
