Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1993 11:26:06 GMT Lines: 27 I just rebuilt my kernel after installing the new patchkit (everything up to patch 75). Upon rebooting, I was informed that my /usr filesystem has a bad magic number in the superblock. This is a completely bogus message because as soon as I replaced the new kernel with the old one (pl 58), it booted perfectly. I ran fsck, and there were no problems. I've compared the kernel sources in ufs, and the only routine that has changed is ufs_vnops.c. Bruce Evans "Fixed access()" patch. That's not the problem. I also looked at the vfs_*.c routines in the kern directory, but none of them have changed. Finally, I compared lots of include files in the sys and other directories, but couldn't find anything that looked promising. I doubt the system configuration matters, but it's a 486 with a 130 mega- byte IDE drive divided into a tiny (5mb) dos partition, and root, usr, and swap partitions of roughly 16, 80, and 20 megabytes each. I took a snap- shot of the /usr/src/sys.orig source code on ref.tfs.com and removed all the patches by hand before applying the latest patchkit (0.2) to it and the rest of the source tree. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? -- Bill Dorsey "Most people mistake law for justice and authority for dorsey@lila.com liberty.
