First / then /usr. o A make install under /usr/src/lib corrupted my libc.so.2.1 o After reboot all shared bins exited with Sig11's. o I couldn'd delete libc.so.2.1 'cause of the immunitable flag. o Clearing the flag was impossible 'cause of shared chflags. The mt is independent of the chflags problem. o I could not wind tho the 2'nd backup on the Tape (the /usr backup) 'cause of the shared mt. >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: Make mt and chflags at least static. mt should go into /sbin cause it is too essential for recovery. chflags should also go into /sbin 'cause progs under / have the immuntable flags set too and could therefore not be replaced if they where corrupt. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->joerg Responsible-Changed-By: scrappy Responsible-Changed-When: Sun May 26 16:00:38 PDT 1996 Responsible-Changed-Why: seemed the logical person to change it to...
