Seems lots of crap in /sbin is corrupted

cannot execute reboot either


Weird.

Did you do som updates or a kernel upgrade recently?


Hi

No.

The machine had been up 150 days and had had no updates. Since it is not directly connected to the internet and does one backend thing only (lots of java server processes) it does not get as updated as often as it perhaps should be since it is a PITA to take it down and it is not connected directly to the internet so a hack against it is not as likely.

See the thread "jfs bug" I started. jfsCommit is failing all of a sudden and when it happened it screwed up stuff like the ethernet driver and stuff in /sbin

I did a hard reboot and it came up and /sbin stuff works now/,

For example

bash-2.05b# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-760 MP [IGD4-2P] System Controller (rev 11)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-760 MP [IGD4-2P] AGP Bridge
00:07.0 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] ISA (rev 05)
00:07.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] IDE (rev 04)
00:07.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] ACPI (rev 03)
00:10.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] PCI (rev 05)
02:04.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13)
02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 0d)
02:08.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20276 IDE (rev 01)
bash-2.05b#



But the jfs thing happened again (with indeterminate effects so far)
