Hi,
I am using FreeBSD 8.2 with an UFS filesystem containing a jail. I do a
tar of the whole jail every night. Suddenly after a few weeks of
operation, tar complains about being unable to stat /usr/lib/libmilter.so.
From inside the jail:
ls /usr/lib | grep "^libmilter.so$" returns "libmilter.so"
ls /usr/lib/libmilter.so returns "ls: libmilter.so: No such file or
directory"
ls -l /usr/lib> /dev/null returns "ls: libmilter.so: No such file or
directory"
Trying to access the file from the main system gives the same result.
A reboot returns everything to normal.
Exactly the same also appeared on another machine some time ago, the only
difference was that it appeared on another file.
Does anyone know what can cause this problem ?
File system corruption would cause such behavior. And/Or perhaps
something is wrong with the underlying disk device.
I would search the logs for messages indicating that the storage
medium is failing. Does dmesg contain anything related?
I would also unmount and fsck the file system.
HTH, Nikos
