Re: kern/38265: sometimes /kern directory can not be read

Hi, I have a machine running 4.99.72 and when I see that machine,
it does NOT have anything in /kern.

Then I did 
   ls -l /dev,
evething seems to be back. Then I did rsync,

   rsync -aH /mounf/NFSserver/home/ /export/home/

About in 7 minutes, /kern gets empty again. Then I did
   ls -l /dev/wd0a, 
which is the root device, /kern seems to be back,
but missing rrootdev. So I did 
   ls -l /dev/rwd0a, 
then I get everthing now.
