I will give the short version of the story. If anyone thinks the long version will be helpful, I will see what all I can give you. I recently moved to a new house, and when I first tried to bring my system (a Pentium III, Asus MB, a Western Digital HD as primary master and Samsung and primary slave) I was met with several messages scrolling by referring to inode problems. This happened during the automatic checks while the filesystems were being mounted. The system had been shutdown correctly prior to being moved. At this time I was running 4.4-(STABLE?). From that point in time I have received kernel panic after kernel panic, probably 95% of the time they have been ufs related, the other 5% have pretty well been invalid page faults. The Western Digital HD checks out under their data lifeguard tools. I have no diagnostic tools for the Samsung. Having lost enough data through these repeated panics I went out and bought the most recent copy of FreeBSD I could find, which was 4.3. I have finally gotten that installed, but I did not newfs my root filesystem. The problem persists. Today I received a panic that I hope will shed some light on this. I was trying to dump my root filesystem and in the process received the following message: /: bad dir ino 14338 at offset 2252: mangled entry panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir I think the first line resembles the messages I would see scroll occassionally while the system was booting. Does this message mean anything to anyone? Thanks so much for the help. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
