I have a 6.0-RELEASE-p1 box with a GENERIC kerbnel that I'm having some trouble with.
I recently reconstituted the machine from being a 5.4 box. I didn't upgrade, I reinstalled. When I was trying to install tripwire, kept getting this message: "./bin/i386-unknown-freebsd_r/siggen missing. Build did not complete successfully. *** Error code 1" I CVSupped a few times, even deleting the tripwire directory completely and letting CVSup re-add it. I finally fixed the problem by copying the missing file from another box. The maintainer of the the port wrote to me: " The missing files were missing from the distfile extraction, not the port. The distfile failed to extract properly. That indicates that either tar failed (unlikely) or that you have some kind of filesystem problem. You have a problem much more serious than a mere port that failed to build." I have run fsck in single user mode many times, each time coming back clean. I ran fsck -f -p, to make sure I wasn't having any problems like this ( http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2003/msg04802.html ). How can I determine what is going on? Do I have filesystem corruption, or is something else going on?
