- 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
