More likely, Thomas, he has a problem with his hardware. It
sounds like his file system is hosed completely. I had this
problem long ago with an Adaptec SCSI card back when the 2940
was a brandy spanky new product. It could not exist in a
system that also had IDE disks. The IDE transfers would get
corrupted randomly and infrequently. It was a bear to track
down. And it eventually left my file system corrupted more or
less the way he describes. I have seen this sort of corruption
since then once or twice. It was always related to either
bad hardware or playing with experimental kernels.
