I'd make sure there's not something like a tmpfs/mfs filesystem that /root
is being used on. If / is on a ramdisk image of any kind, on each reboot,
it should disappear.
Perhaps you should paste your fstab and current mounted filesystems as an
aid to debug.
I didn't think it would be from the way the filesystems are mounted, so
here's that information:
cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/da0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/da0s1d /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
mount
/dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/da0s1d on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/root is on /dev/da0s1a
This particular server is running in a VM on a vmware esx 3.5 server. The
server runs fine, but every so often the dot files disappear for root. I
have not found the behavior to follow a reboot, but some period of
time. Hence my suspicions it was a periodic script.
