Message-ID: <BuDGKq.zs@micromuse.co.uk> Date: 10 Sep 92 17:00:25 GMT Sender: news@micromuse.co.uk Reply-To: adam@micromuse.co.uk Organization: MicroMuse Ltd, London, Uk Lines: 35 Nntp-Posting-Host: zaphod As I reported in a previous posting, I am having trouble with my filesystem under 386BSD. I have an IDE disk (Seagate ST1239A) which is all BSD (no DOS) in 3 partitions. Having got X386 running successfully I am now trying to compile XFig on my system. As the make reached the third file I recieved the following message: /: bad dir ino 2 offset 512: mangled entry panic: bad dir updating disks before reboting ... after a long wait the machine showed no signs of rebooting so I hit the reset switch. Once the machine had powered up again it refused to read the BSD disk (insisting that the absent disk in drive a: was a non-system disk - surprise, surprise) - This is a problem I have reported before. So I powered off and on and the machine booted fine - fsck reported NO problems. Help me please !! Have I found a bug in the filesystem - does anybody else have this problem - do I need a patch ... There could be a lot of reasons for this. I'd like to get some feedback before I go poking around in the Kernel sources ..... Thanks for any advice/opinions/flames etc etc Adam --- =========================================================================== Adam Kerrison | Phone : +44 71 352 7774 Technical Support | Fax : +44 71 351 7834 MicroMuse Ltd | Personal E-mail: adam@micromuse.co.uk London SW10 0RN | Support E-mail : support@micromuse.co.uk ===========================================================================
