I noticed when the system crashes and the fsck is run at boot time
that it says this:
/dev/fp002 UNREF FILE I=2650 OWNER=lenny MODE=100755
/dev/fp002 SIZE=5190 MTIME=Jan 14 20:45 1988 (NOT EMPTY)
(RECONNECTED)
/dev/fp002 1 BLK(S) MISSING
/dev/fp002 BAD FREE LIST
/dev/fp002 SALVAGED
/dev/fp002 10452 files 101334 blocks 17718 free
Now the "RECONNECTED" message only is good if a directory /lost+found
is created on each filesystem. The UNIX PC/3B1 doesn't have one, so
I would suggest creating one. This means that the file at i-node 2650
was being modified at the crash time, and it went to place it's contents
in /lost+found/<i-node>! After you fsck is run, I would check that
directory's contents for missing or corrupted file :-)

And another thing, I also have /etc/cron, while other unixpc folks are talking about writing there own, because they don't have it! Is there really such a violent difference between 3.51 and 3.50? Or (Horrors) are people still running 3.0 (with 7 character C symbols!). My cron LOOKS like a normal cron, It just doesn't start automaticly, you have to create /etc/.cronstart so it will fire up at boottime. (see /etc/rc). Has anyone tried porting BSD uucp to the 3b1? It looks PD, and is HDB compatable. I remember looking at the sources somewhere recently... -- :alex. alex@umbc3.umd.edu

In order to accomplish that you should create a bunch of files and then delete them. Like this: mkdir /lost+found cd /lost+found for i in 1 to 64 do cat >tmp$i <<FUNKYSTUFF dummy line FUNKYSTUFF done rm tmp* If you don't allocate the space, fsck won't reconnect your files. -- Andy Sherman / AT&T Bell Laboratories (Medical Diagnostic Systems) 480 Red Hill Road / Middletown NJ 07748 / (201) 615-5708 UUCP: {ihnp4,allegra,akgua,cbosgd,mtune....}!shlepper!andys INTERNET: andys@shlepper.ATT.COM

[stuff about lost+found]
For reasons I won't go into, the lost+found dir needs directory slots. So
do it like this:
#!/bin/sh
ROOT=/
mkdir $ROOT/lost+found
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 a b c d e f g h i j k l; do
cp /dev/null $ROOT/lost+found/$i
rm $ROOT/lost+found/$i

The correct script should be: mkdir /lost+found cd /lost+found for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 do for j in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 do cat >tmp$i$j <<FUNKYSTUFF dummy line FUNKYSTUFF done done rm tmp* Some one has pointed out that you don't need to actually allocate space in the tmp$i$j files so that "cat >tmp$i$j" would probably do it instead of all the funky stuff.
