It doesn't take two hours, now it is down to 10 mins between reboots. >I thought there was no messages until I was sitting on the console when it >happended here is the message: > Sorry to follow up my own post but I re newfs'd the drive and knocked the inode back up to 2048 the exact command I used was newfs -f 512 -b 4096 -i 2048 The man page for disksetup (I think) said this was good enough for a news partition (I sure hope they are right). Anyway now it only panics every hour or so and with a different error mode = 0100664 inum = 1414705 fs = /usr/var/news/spool panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc What does this mean? I search for the inode 1414705 and the file looked fine to me. One thing thought while useing find, to find it it output several files with Bad file descriptors. What is this is my disk bad? Will a low level format fix it? This is a Micropolis 4 GB drive and I have all the patches from ftp.bsdi.com from the update disks. I am running BSDI 2.0.1 with a GENERIC kernel installed. Please help me. Brian panic:
