I agree. These errors make no sense to me, which leads me to drive cable or physical memory problems, perhaps filesystem corruption. Since you have plenty of space on /home, is it possible for you to move whatever's on /backup to /home, then newfs /backup? Of course you could try fsck -y /backup in single user, but with these weird errors, I trust the filesystem on that disk as far as I can throw it. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
