Ive reformatted and reinstalled multiple times (like 10) and keep seeing the same odd behavior in the root filesystem. Each time I reformat and reinstall, random files in the filesystem (and it does appear to be random) appear as raw device files with major/minor=0/0 as the following examples: crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Jul 31 07:25 fileutils.postinst crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Aug 6 17:04 findutils.postinst crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Jul 27 06:48 gettext-base.postinst crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Apr 12 2000 grep.postinst crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Jul 27 07:55 grub.postinst crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Dec 3 1999 gzip.postinst crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0, 0 Dec 20 1999 hostname.postinst Its not specific to any directory, as these messed up files are alongside correct ones. I havent seen a directory appear like this, but it might have happened. When I mount /dev/hdb1 under linux, the files are ok, so Im assuming its a translator bug/error. I ran 'badblocks' twice and my drive seems to be rock solid (never found a bad block - this is a fairly unused disk). The partition is 750Mb, and I correctly used the -O sparse_super and -o hurd options on format. On every install, the corrupted files have prevented a successful configuration, and I have yet to get a working Hurd setup. Has anyone ever seen this before? Ive scoured the archived list and didn't see anything relevant. If you have any ideas at all, please let me know. - Michael Oberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
