I started a simple emerge -Uv world this morning. In the process of building perl-5.8.0-rc12 I was given the following message: !!! ERROR: There appears to be FILE SYSTEM CORRUPTION. A file that islisted as existing is not capable of being stat'd. If you are using anexperimental kernel, please boot into a stable one, force an fsck,and ensure your filesystem is in a sane state. 'shutdown -Fr now'File:/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmpError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:'/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmp'Wizard root # My kernel is 2.4.22-rc2. The file system is ext3. I did the requested shutdown and fsck. There was one problem found and fixed automatically. I then tried to kick off the same process again and got the same error again. I fsck'ed again and came up running. At this point I looked at the directory and found that indeed the Hash stuff did seem corrupted again, so I erased all of /var/tmp/portage thinking that maybe this was a specific hard drive problem at a specific area on the disk. This erased about 1GB of stuff, but after fsck'ing again and trying it for a 3rd time I still got the same problem.

At this point I could do anothe emerge as things looks sort of normal. The system needs perl I suppose, so I need to move forward: Wizard dev-lang # emerge -Up world >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
