Dear Marco.On stardate Wed, 22 Dec 2004, the wise O. Hartmann entered:
Please try to boot your system in single user mode (type '4' in the start screen, where the countdown can be watched)
an do a 'fsck -y'. Then watch whether your box gets stuck or.
If it also get stuck in single user mode, please report again. I'm very interestes in this!
Thanks for the reply,
In single user mode it didn't get stuck and it looks like it repaired some things. In the /usr, /home and /var filesystems "lost+found" directories were created with some files in them. Also a "fsck_snapshot"-file was created in /home/.snap/
Now I'm curious what to do with the files in the lost+found directories; can I delete them safely or do I have to do something with it? Are the filesystems really repaired and ok again or will the system crash some day because some files are still broken?
The system works again but I'm not very confident it stays this way. I'm thinking of installing 4.10-R again.

Thanks. In my case, FreeBSD 5.3 dies in single user mode on nearly each disk activity (it is obviously a FreeBSD 5.3-issue with
my ASUS CUR-DLS based system).
Please take a look at fsck_ffs(8) man page. There is at the end of the description of the options an explanation of the lost+find facility. Obviously orphaned files and directories (and in most cases those which are expected to be some of them) are gathered and reconnected in lost+found. My 'periodic' cron-job deletes the contents of lost+found every 7 days.
