We have done a forced fsck on the partition with the error. The problem is, there is no data other than the openbsd install. All I was trying to do was load the source from the openbsd cd into /usr/src. I don't need to restore since this is a new machine. I have not done anything to it. I'll just reinstall the entire thing. Unless someone wants me to try something else. Thanks! JohnM -- john mendenhall [EMAIL PROTECTED] surf utopia internet services ------------------- /QUOTE John, I've heard, and seen, a lot of odd problems that can't be duplicated with the same error when there's either of the following true. 1) overclocked hardware 2) bad system memory I'm doubting your system memory, but I'm curious about your overclocking. I don't think I've followed very carefully what you've already tried, and wonder if the mindset has ever drifted away from Hard Drives and ATA controllers. Another thread suggested catting /dev/ad0s1 >/dev/null and seeing how many errors you get. If you get errors, it might point to what can't be read (and maybe can't be written then). You might have to use another tool, but you should get the jist of what I'm trying to suggest. Good luck. If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. "I can" is a way of life.
