I have to admit that I had a rather nasty crash while doing an
installworld @FreeBSDCon. The result was a trashed /usr/bin and
/usr/lib among other things.
When I eventually got the machine back up, another installworld
sorted things out. Sooo, I don't think in my case that anything was
hurt that wasn't actually being updated, *but*, I did see some
``UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY'' messages when it failed to
``fsck -p'' !
I don't know enough about the fs code to say what the problem is, or
even to deny that it's a transient hardware problem.... perhaps
encountered during a critical bit of softupdate syncing code and
causing a hard crash ???!?
