Hi, the same thing happened again right now, but without the panic: The system came up to the point when it starts local services. Then, some services immediately dumped core because of missing files. After hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot the machine, I restarted it in single user mode: All file systems were mountable. Luckily, I unmounted them and checked them although the claimed to be clean. Fsck found the following errors on /var and /usr (both UFS2, softupdates enabled). PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I had fsck remove those inodes, and it also deleted some files (as it seems those belonging to the above inodes). Luckily, I did not lose anything but a few header files in /usr/local/include, and some log files from /var/log, but somehow this makes me nervous. Of course, I shut down the machine correctly in all the cases. Does anybody have any clues? Simon
