Greetings and happy December :) I have a 3.5TB ffs mounted at /data which is specified in fstab.
When there is a power outage this file system corrupts (I'll install another UPS shortly). Is it possible to fsck_ffs a 3.5TB file system from the boot rescue environment? When I've tried before I've got an error like: "cannot alloc bytes" If one can get the system to boot up normally, then one can fsck_ffs with no such error. Secondly question, is it possible from the rescue environment to edit the real /etc/fstab file? Because it would be handy for me in some cases to do so without booting from the install image. Another question, is there a Linux like fstab option of 'nofail' for OpenBSD? It seems like there isn't, because for me, it would be handy to specify that for my /data mount. For now, I've added this to my rc.local file to work around the issue I sometimes have. set -e mount 3b3840fcdf524721.c /data rcctl -f start vmd rcctl -f start portmap mountd nfsd rcctl -f start backuppc wwbackuppc nginx
