string

Action
Replace the memory module or chip at the indicated position. Refer to the vendor’s
hardware manual for help finding this location.
Bad request descriptor
Cause
Apparently used only in NIS+ to indicate corrupted or missing tables.
Technical Notes
The symbolic name for this error is EBADR, errno=51.
BAD SUPER BLOCK: string
Cause
This message from fsck(1M) indicates that a filesystem’s super-block is damaged
beyond repair and must be replaced. At boot time (with the -p option) this message
is prefaced by the filesystem’s device name. After this message comes the actual
damage recognized (see Action). Unfortunately fsck(1M) does not print the
number of the damaged super-block.
Action
The most common cause of this error is overlapping disk partitions. Do not
immediately rerun fsck(1M) as suggested by the lines that display after the error
message. First make sure that you have a recent backup of the filesystem involved; if
not, try to back up the filesystem now using ufsdump(1M). Then run the
format(1M) command, select the disk involved, and print out the partition
information.
