more helpfully, see the check command in kfscmd(8).

Aha!  So if we sync our politicians before their sessions are over....

I like where you're going with this.

the kfs file system is complaining that it is getting errors
from the read system call that is reading the device
holding the file system (eg, IDE or SCSI).
it might just be that there's a bad block number somewhere
because of a shut down without sync (eg, by a crash).
in any case, you probably should sort it out because
you might get growing corruption otherwise.

hi,

on one standalone 4ed system, when I first open a mailbox with
nedmail or acme Mail, and when I open a message, the screen fills
with

wrenread failed:
wrenread failed:
wrenread failed:
wrenread failed:
wrenread failed:
...etc...

I'm guessing that it's related to upas/fs opening messages, that
is, box with lots of messages = lots of lines of errors, box with only
a few messages = only a few errors, empty box = no errors. other than
that, mail *works* fine, but the messages disrupt the screen and make it
nigh impossible to read.

anyone know what's up?
