Arrgh, IBrowse got me again!
« on: March 15, 2003, 05:14:49 PM »
Just when I thought IB 2.3 demo was rock solid, I wake up to a cold boot and validation error of "block 1234xyz used twice" requestor.  Maybe its not IBrowse, but I leave it's Icon out on my workbench, and I "can't put away this Icon". along with having to click cancel on "error validating disk work" 3 or 4 times just to change a web page.  I knew I shoulda put it on its own partition, dang!  So, I'm off to delete the cache, etc.  " AH'LL B BACH" (I hope)

Looks like I'm doomed! I cannot delete Ibrowse's cache..  Should I try a force delete via CLI?     Try Disk Salv? (never used it on a HD). Any chance of saving the partition?  Or when in doubt, reformat?  (At least I saved Miami)

Thanks for your replies!

Disk Salv couldn't fix the partition, tried all the options I think (salvage, repair, validate etc.)  So.. IBrowse has its OWN partition now.
Umm, so would it be better/faster to just put the cache directory there, and have the rest of IBrowse in the same partition as MUI/Miami? I don't mind risking losing URL's if it happens again..  thanx

In all fairness to IBrowse, I believe my validation error was caused by my shutting off the computer while IBrowse was running so it didn't have a chance to "clean up" its cache. (Whatever that means).
