Well, this is almost too weird to be a hardware issue, but anything is possible... Sometime after the online update last weekend, I developed problems in BOTH sata drives.../tmp on sda8 and /usr/lib on sdb2. Reiser reported bad blocks in those two partitions. After two tries, reiser relocated the bad block in /tmp, but unfortunately was not able to correct the one in /usr/lib, saying it was in "the reiser system section". I now have a virgin 10.3 on an ide drive, and am able to mount all the other partitions, including two raid arrays. I have not lost any data, but can not restore the original (updated) system without having the /usr/lib files available. So I'm up a creek looking at re-installs of everything. My question for the group here...well, actually two. First, isn't it strange to see problems on two (a Maxtor and a Seagate) drives at the same time? I'm leery of the update somehow! Second question...my laptop contains almost an identical load of programs, and the thought crossed my mind to try and copy its /usr/lib into master as a quick fix. However, it is an intel chip, and master is an Athlon...so I'm guessing there would be too many differences in the compiled libraries for that to work. Agreed? I guess I just have to bite the bullet here, I know. It's been a long night... :-( If anyone is interested, although I can't boot the original system, I do have access to all the (media)/var/logs. Thanks for any sane input here...;-) Tom in NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
