Fournier" To: current@freebsd.org Subject: File System Corruption *sigh* Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Morning all... I'm not having much luck with this -current machine, hardware or software yet to be determined... :( In attempting to beat the hell out of this machine (got it up to using 57% of its 51Meg swap space, with 16Meg of RAM), I started up 5 make processes: make on /usr/src/sys/compile/freebsd 4 makes under /usr/src/lib All of a sudden, I started getting: cc -c -O2 -m486 -pipe -W -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wredundant-decls -Wimplicit -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Winline -g -nostdinc -I. -I../.. -I../../sys -I../../../include -DI486_CPU -DCOMPAT_43 -DDEVFS -DNFS -DFFS -DINET -D DODUMP -DKERNEL ../../kern/tty.c In file included from ../../sys/types.h:46, from ../../sys/param.h:54, from ../../kern/tty.c:73: ./machine/ansi.h:52: warning: `/*' within comment For warnings under /usr/src/sys/compile/freebsd. Figuring them for mere warnings, I kind of ignored them, but then got curious, since I've never seen that warning before, so checked out the file, and found this at line 52: #define _BSD_SIZE_T_ unsigned int /* sizeof ) * #d`fin` _BSD_SSIZE_T_ int /* byte count or error */ #define _BSD_TIME_T_ long /* time() */ Notice, as well, the corruption at the end of the BSD_SIZE_T define... I am using nfs mounts for various things, but my /usr, /usr/src and /usr/include directories are all local, so I would presume that the nfs mounts wouldn't affect this. Other then the memory being in question, this machine is a 486DX2-66 w/ 16Meg of RAM, an Adaptec 1542CF SCSI controller and a SCSI hard drive: (aha0:0:0): "UNISYS U0531 ST3600N 8374" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 500MB (1025920 512 byte sectors) Marc G.
