Hey freebsd-questions don't wanna cause you pain but the big boys feel no sorrow!
I have fsck -p -y coredump on every cold reboot. The only unusual things to cause this are: it's a GPT volume and the nullfs is used extensively. I think this is because of the the GPT because I can't geom_label on that UFS1+J volume, but I can use geom_label on an 'unjournalled' ad1p4 partition. Of course I use geom_label for / and it has no journal. The setup is: $ uname -a FreeBSD screwed.box 7.4-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.4-PRERELEASE #8: Thu Feb 17 13:03:24 MSK 2011 t...@screwed.box:/usr/local/obj/usr/local/src/sys/JUICY i386 # fdisk /dev/ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 238 (0xee),(EFI GPT) start 1, size 156301487 (76319 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> # gpart show ad1 => 34 156301421 ad1 GPT (75G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K) 162 2999729 2 freebsd-ufs (1.4G) 2999891 7000000 3 freebsd-swap (3.3G) 9999891 146301564 4 freebsd-ufs (70G) # gjournal list Geom name: gjournal 1645160533 ID: 1645160533 Providers: 1.

Should I place /tmp on a different volume for 'fast' fsck -p feature? It's a symlink by now: tmp -> var/tmp and var -> /usr/local/var I see nothing I can use for a guess about a fsck_ufs segfault. The dumps and a core are there: http://119out.smtp.ru/kdump.out http://119out.smtp.ru/ktrace.out http://119out.smtp.ru/truss.out http://119out.smtp.ru/_fsck_ufs.core.gz The cold reboot is caused by cpu overheating and I'm absolutely sure of other parts of hardware, especially the HDD. I just made a cpu more silent ( and sometimes hot ). But typically it happens when sound outputs from the c-media built-in. fsck -y has no problems and lost+founds are typically only a few inodes, may be 5. I tried with unionfs on a volume in a past but I believe I wiped the whiteouts out since then. The only fsck -p passed I saw after cold reboot were when I believe all of the files open on that volume were open read-only. Many thanks for any hints, clues and ideas on all of that. Should I file a PR better? 73!
