I've been getting this strange report from df all along, but I realized
only in the last hour that it's strange:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd1a 49199 9644 34635 22% /
/dev/sd1f 908105 779661 37633 95% /usr
/dev/sd1e 709770 561730 77063 88% /var
/dev/sd1g 561147 59570 445462 12% /home
kernfs 1 1 0 100% /kern
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
The block counts looks about right for the root & /home partitions,
but the other two are VERY WRONG (/usr should be ~204000, /var ~153000).
I rebooted into single-user mode & run fsck -f on each partition (w/o
mounting them), but fsck didn't find anything wrong.
Now I find that /usr is horked but good. I don't know if there was
damage creeping through all along, but it hosed several programs by
turning off the x bits. Turning them on was probably a mistake ("bad
system architecture" or something like that -- I'm in MacOS now).
Has anyone else noticed problems with the [ef] partitions on a Jaz
drive? Am I the only one who has ever partitioned a Jaz like this?
Sys info: Mac IIsi, 17MB RAM, MacOS 7.5.3, NetBSD 1.3, generic SBC
kernel. All NetBSD partitions are on the Jaz drive.
