Hi List, There is a rather curious problem that I have, which I haven't encountered before. I make regular backups of my packages and put them onto an external usb drive, which is mounted read/write via sysutils/fusefs-ntfs.
Now these backups don't exist no more and at the same time they are there. That is to say, upon issuing ls and/or rm on the command line I get rather strange results. Here are some of my outputs: mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % ls [a long list that has been cut out] zip-3.0.tbz mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % ls zip-3.0.tbz ls: zip-3.0.tbz: No such file or directory Some have files that (don't) exist have i-nodes and some haven't: mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % ls -i zip-3.0.tbz ls: zip-3.0.tbz: No such file or directory mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % ls -i linux-f10-tiff-3.8.2.tbz 2469 linux-f10-tiff-3.8.2.tbz Running rm on the folder I get "No such file or directory" for every single entry: mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % rm * [a long list that has been cut out] rm: linux-f10-tiff-3.8.2.tbz: No such file or directory Yet again some of the files can be test via gzip and some can't: mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % gzip -t linux-f10-tiff-3.8.2.tbz mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % echo $? 0 mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % gzip -t zip-3.0.tbz gzip: can't stat: zip-3.0.tbz: No such file or directory mike@machine1:/mnt/Programs/FreeBSD/91binaries/packages % Looks like the this part of the file system is corrupt. I also booted the drive up under Windows and got the same result. The files are there, but can't be read, overwritten or deleted. What does the list say about the above mentioned?
