Hi, I booted into single user mode (running FreeBSD 8 RC2) and did:
# dd if=/dev/ad8 of=/dev/ad8 bs=1024k After waiting a few hours the command completed without problem (ad8 is the HDD that has FreeBSD). After that I got the following: # reboot reboot: device not configured # ls vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error ls: device not configured Pressing the boxes power button results in the above vnode message to spam the screen. The only way to reset the system was to do a hard reset (root was ro :-) ). Is this expected behaviour or something wrong with the HDD? I have been having issues with VirtualBox where doing IO (network and HDD) causes DMA problems resulting in the system panicing and rebooting. Could this be related? I haven't finished diagnosing the VirtualBox problem but booting the guest in safe mode (the guest is FreeBSD-current) does not fix the problem. Thanks for your assistance. David
