The Reiserfs list is very good at responding to file system problems. However you would need to supply much more detailed information -including logs. Brian Marr On Thursday 03 January 2002 15:15, you wrote:
Suse 7.3 most of files on reiserfs
Several important files look like they've been overwritten with various data.
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf CGI.pm /sbin/YaST a customer's httpd.conf
I think there are a lot of perl files corrupted as well.
probably more.
The source of the files looks totally random- my passwd file showed up in YaST, along with a lot of html.
What's worse is that I tried to reinstall yast with
rpm -iv yast.rpm
and it seg faults.
Some of you will remember that I had some mkreiserfs and debugreiserfs processes stuck in a D state awhile back, while the filesystems appeared to be working correctly. This all showed up when I when to the colo and rebooted.
Any ideas what might have caused this? If its an exploit, its a pretty pointless one. There hasn't been any unexplained traffic to or from the box (according to the switch), chkrootkit hasn't found anything- more likely I think it's a Reiser thing.
thanks-
