Subject:   Help requested for FreeBSD site experiencing 'fsck' errors
Message-ID:  <327E40C6.1FFF@nswcc.org.au>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
We are an organisation running FreeBSD 2.0 for our Web servers. We have 
been experiencing errors reported by the 'fsck' utility during a nightly 
integrity run for a while, and we would like to correct these errors but 
are unsure whether this will cause any instability in the servers. The 
nightly run automatically says 'no' to all fsck questions. The servers 
appear to be running normally but the number of errors seems to be 
increasing. Errors are of types such as 'CLEAN FLAG IS WRONG IN 
SUPERBLOCK', 'INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT', 'UNALLOCATED', DIRECTORY 
CORRUPTED', 'UNREF FILE', etc.

We would like any information relating to the correction of 'fsck' 
errors, and your advice as to whether it should be safe to say 'yes' to 
all of the 'fsck' prompts for corrections.

Thanks for any help that you can give.
