Intersting - fetching with cvsup seems to have worked where
csup did not.
I may investigate further if time permits.

Directories are not your problem, the missing files are.  Re-fetch the
source using one of the standard methods (see handbook).

Use your original installation CD to restore to its original contents.
Or use cvsup to automatically download the missing files and
directories. Would be easiest to use cvsup to bring your sources up to a
current release.

Same as one would do to restore /usr/src from CD, one can get a fresh
copy of the tarballs from one of the FreeBSD mirrors. For 6.2 download
all of:

/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/src

Then simply untar them into /usr/src.

recreating directory structure

2007-05-29 Thread Robert Huff

Some of the directories under /usr/src have gone missing.
How do I re-create the directory structure?  I know mtree is
involved, but have no idea which flags and what file to feed it.
Thanks in advance,
