I had a similar problem on sparc64 with a snapshot from jun 2. The system was unable to fsck some partitions and dropped to single user mode. Here the problems were with the /usr, /var, /tmp and /home partitions. Some further (and larger partitions) weren't affected. I installed an older snapshot. Any suggestions how to get this fixed or what to test/try? Regards, Markus
