Hello folks, Yesterday I had a panic on my laptop. Unfortunately the SU+J was not able to recovery the file system, the error was something like : Unknown error: Help! Could not find directory 9854215 And it went to the single user mode, I needed to fsck_ufs manually to recover the disk. What afraid me is what if happens on a headless machine? It will be hard to recover. Regards, -- Demelier David

In my experience 'fsck -y' almost invariably recovers the disk to a point where it can boot and then I can login remotely. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
