You have probably already read those details in another one of my emails be= tween when you emailed and when I responded to yours, but in case not, here= it is again:=0A=0AI executed a bad command on my old server which I am con= vinced damaged a 500 GB HD I had. The server farm says otherwise, but it is= in their best interest to talk a lot and do as little work as possible...a= nd rake in more money for screwing up OS's, etc. So I had them build out an= other server which I built out after they got me up. First, however, I buil= t a mirror server here and wrote down every command I executed in building = it, to make sure there would be no mistakes. Then one day, all of a sudden,= when I wasn't doing any work at all in the given areas, two of my database= s got wiped: MySQL and one of my Zope instances' Data.fs, both of which wer= e symlinked to the SCSI HDs from the 500 GB HD. This is exactly what happen= ed on the old server, except on the old one it happened because of an erron= eous copy command. Now, strange little things are happening for which there= is no logical explanation other than corruption of the OS...exactly what t= ranspired on the old server. Well, that's more detail than in my last email ;)=0ATIA,=0ADrew=0A=0A-----= Original Message ----=0AFrom: Garrett Cooper <youshi10@u.washington.edu>= =0ATo: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org=0ASent: Friday, March 16, 2007 10:43:3= 8 AM=0ASubject: Re: Corrupted OS=0A=0AChristian Walther wrote:=0A> On 16/03= /07, Drew Jenkins <drewjenkinsjr@yahoo.com> wrote:=0A>> 23Hi;=0A>> Is it po= ssible to rebuild an OS without reformatting the hard drive?
