Title When running chkfsys, I get error: link lost
Ref. No. QNX.000009503
Category(ies) Utilities, Filesystem
Issue When running chkfsys /dev/hd0t77, in QNX4, we see the following message:

//1/usr/watcom/10.6/default
link lost
Paused (cannot fix)

If we ls this directory, it locks up (or loops). The rm utility fails to remove it.


Solution This error means that one of the inode pointers is pointing at an invalid inode entry.  Use the zap utility to remove the entry.
