It takes ~30s for changes to take effect if > you are. I noticed this myself last week. I believe not - doesn't that involve adding a "SOFTUPDATES" option to the kernel? I don't have that in my kernel; therefore, disc access should be synchronous by default, right? And it had definitely been longer than 30s before I decided to run fsck (or before the first run completed). What does it all mean? That I have a file occupying 700+ Mb on my hard drive that I can't get rid of? :-( By the way, rm returned almost instantaneously - normally it takes a few seconds to remove such a huge file (that was the reason I even noticed the problem in the first place.) If this is a bug, I would be glad to help, but this kind of error is hard to reproduce... Perhaps someone with an in-depth knowledge of ufs can tell me what really happened (and what exactly did fsck do to my drive, just to make things worse.) > > So I decided to run fsck, with -p at first: > > > > > > pcayk:/usr/home/ayk1# fsck -p -f /dev/wd0s1f > > /dev/rwd0s1f: UNREF FILE I=1111053 OWNER=ayk1 MODE=100644 > > /dev/rwd0s1f: SIZE=716247040 MTIME=Apr 22 20:36 1999 (CLEARED) > > /dev/rwd0s1f: SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD (SALVAGED) > > /dev/rwd0s1f: BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS (SALVAGED) > > /dev/rwd0s1f: FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED) > > /dev/rwd0s1f: 176217 files, 6275813 used, 1346031 free (39575 frags, > > 163307 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation) > > I assume this was in single user mode, otherwise you made a gigantic mess. > :-) I did, didn't I?
