- HP 9000/847, running HPUX 8.02.
-
- Our machine crashes from time to time, and during reboot we virtually
- always see messages of the form
-
- /dev/rroot: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT INODE = 12345 (8 MUST BE 0) (CORRECTED)
-
- We assume this comes from fsck doing its job, but what exactly does
- '8 must be 0' mean? Eight blocks, presumably, but why should there
- be zero of them?
-
- On a related note, is '/dev/rroot' a standard UNIX thing, or an HP
- thing? lssf gives:
-
- # lssf /dev/dsk/c3d0s10
- disc3 lu 3 section 10 address 52.6.0 /dev/dsk/c3d0s10
- # lssf /dev/root
- disc3 lu 3 section 10 address 52.6.0 /dev/rroot
- # lssf /dev/rroot
- disc3 lu 3 section 10 address 52.6.0 /dev/rroot
-
- It appears that /dev/root and /dev/rroot are special links to the
- disk partition with the root file system. Why do both of these
- exist? Could they ever be different? Who uses them?
-
- Thanks in advance,
