Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk System: Dell P75 DimensionXPS, EIDE, 1GB HD ~350M Dedicated to FreeBSD 8MB RAM FreeBSD v2.1.0 Okay... just installed FreeBSD the other day and I like it a lot. This morning and last night i've had to deal with massive filesystem corruption. A lotof files are getting screwed up and i'm not sure what to do. The thing that alerts me to the files is "bad arguments" or similar things. I then run an fsck and I get all sorts of errors - none in particular but the whole conglomerate of them. Yesterday it was my /etc/ directory, now its my /bin directory. I've tried djust about everything I know how to do with this problem. I really would prefer not to go back to Linux, folks. If anybody has any idea what's going on (by the way, i'm running a custom kernel) or needs an account on the system or whatever and can help me out with this, i'd appreciate it. Thanks!
