The reason for this particular error was file system corruption due to
1 cylinder overlap between two adjacent partitions.
I have repartitioned so there is no overlap and restored the
files from backup.
Thanks again,
Deepak

Hi all,
I have been getting this error message on a Sparc-20 console after
installing Solaris-7. Though the system is up and running without any
problem.
NOTICE: /usr/local: bad dir ino 365292 at offset 0: mangled entry
Looks to me that it is complaining about inode number 365292 on /usr
filesystem where "local" is mounted.
Do you think that a fsck on /usr and /usr/local filesystem will solve the
problem?
What are your suggestion on this, I will summerise,
Thanks,
Deepak
