It's probably a long shot, but you may try removing bad file using illumos (ex opensolaris) system (or liveCD). In the past it used to be a little bit more robust than FreeBSD when it came to dealing with filesystem corruption. In one case I had illumos printed out a message about corrupt pool and remained up and running while FreeBSD would just crash when I tried mounting the pool. --Artem _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
