On one occasion it blew away most of /usr. I could log in as root, but just about anything else ended in tears. I tried different disks, thinking that was the problem. Then I swapped out the motherboard. Your problem might be different, but it's worth checking if all the required directories still exist; and if they contain the usual files. If you've got lots of lost+found entries, you can be there are missing files. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@netbsd.org; jb@freebsd.org CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
