It's suddenly empty. It seems that any text handling routine gets crazy because=20 /var/run/jail_XXX.id is also empty when starting new jails. It worked at machine boot, since older running jails do have a number in = their id file. Only newer started/restarted jails have an empty id file. Also the hosts.allow gets reproducable emptied by sshguard. Where's the part of FreeBSD doing such text manipulation? Maybe that's also responsable for makefile parsing and such explains the = 'make' failure? Interesting is that 'make' without -j3 at least starts=20 the build, but reproducable fails at different points while src tree is=20 absolutely consistent. If I mount it elsewhere everything compiles fine. And to ephisize: This mysteric behaviour of some base system components=20 appears only after some uptime. I haven't seen it the first day after=20 fresh booting. Anybody any ideas? I'm desperate because I don't know here I could start = to search/test.
