Synopsis - Sun386i's running both 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 and X11R3 patched thru 9. On occassion, novice users, experienced users have managed to 'lock' up the systems. After doing a power off/on re-boot the directories /var/adm and /var/spool are no longer to be found! We see no messages from fsck and everything else seems Ok. This has occured on four different 386i's with four different users (all were running X when the problem occurred). Question: Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any clues as to the cause (X11, SunOS)? John Powell (301) 496-2963 National Institutes of Health DCRT, CSL Bldg. 12-A, Rm 2031 Bethesda, Md. 20892 uucp - uunet!nih-csl!jip Internet - jip@alw.nih.gov
