I've noticed in recent months that I appear to be getting silent corruption of my UFS filesystems - and I think it may be linked to using md(4) or creating sparse files.
I created a 20GB md device using "truncate -s 20G mdfile && mdconfig -a -f mdfile" and then ran some gpart commands before using "mdconfig -d -u 0" and rm'ing the file. Some time later I noticed the following had been logged to dmesg: free inode /usr/3367984 had 128 blocks free inode /usr/3367984 had 32 blocks Now, whenever I run vim it creates a sparse 20GB .viminfo file - on another server those files were reported as being 8TB. I've disabled background fsck so the filesystems should have been clean when the system booted, and I'm not using SU+J. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
