I have a problem which has grown to be a big one. I was using owb, and left the the os running for a while, and when I returned to open a new url it locked up. I reset and tried to reopen on the icon on the panel menu but it didn't mount, it also froze the sys. I tried again after another reset, this time going directly to its location, but it still didn't mount, and froze the sys again. I reset and tried other programs, which were dropped into the panel, which all worked, everything except the owb. I figured it was a cache error to .recycled where if I delete the cookies, ect, it would come about, but now I get a needs bsdsocket.library request, and the triangle pointer at start (ambient). The screen still locks up with any access to reading entire (dh2:) so essentially, my os is broke. I figured I'd use my old qbtools, but that doesn't work on my sys. it executes, but can't read the gui, nor will it select opts.

I then figured go to the bootcd and delete the entire folder, but it wouldn't allow it and I got a requester
"smartFilesystem DH2:(ide.device,unit0) findextentbnode:findbnode()can't find key9509228 continue/nomore requesters"

I had another file which wouldn't delete previously, and I just moved it into an unnamed folder. I figured I could do this again, but that
didn't work either.

Guys, I didn't install anything new except dropping executables into c for bluehd, but a few days ago, and it has been fine since. Only mishap r key was accidentally pressed while my sys window was opend prompting i guess a rename of the shell window? I closed it out, but how knows?

I really liked my set up I mean with all the current layout, I'd really hate to have to reinstall/reformat to get this thing working again......any help

Have you tried SFSDoctor?

thanks Krashan..scaned and then selected repair, but it doesn't seem to be saving the metadata backup- it's just hanging, both attempts whether bootcd or sysboot. on sys boot i don't even get the opt for backup dir
I was saving to an external usb:seagate. sys=14gig seagate has 15gigs free.

IQuote:

i think you have to.

it happened to me a couple of times (another SFS version on a previous MorphOS version) and at the end it turned out to a borked HD.

In the mainwhile i tryed to deleting manually the .recycled and defragment the partition also, sometimes it helps sometimes not.

bummer..I thought this wasn't supposed to happen in sfs

Hi,

Recoverd 240 files with SFSDoctor, i had a bad sector too, then copied whole HD to another one.
Thanks to SFSDoctor.
