So when the machine rebooted, it took much longer to come up and there was a
lot of disk activity, which I thought was disk validation. Well after it all
came up, a system requestor poped up with the following message:
Volume Work has a checksum error on disk block 69601
I selected retry several times with no luck, so I selected cancel.
Work:incoming is the directory where the tar program was running. I can still
run programs, but trying to list the directory in Work:incoming always brings
up the system requestor.
The big question is, how to correct this problem? The info command also
indicates that the Work: partition is now 99% full, here are the details:
size: 92M used: 188843 free: 1 full: 99% status: validating
I checked the directory listing and can find no file that is taking up the
~20MB that had been free before running the tar program.
Here is the run down on my system:
A3000 25/100 1MB chip 1MB fast KS 36.207 WB 36.69
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ah, this is the reason we make backups :). Anyhow, I had a similar problem,
and I used Qb Tools to "Repair Volume". This at least got the drive to
a state where I could get a directory without a requester/lockup. It
turned out that only 5 of my files were trashed, so I made a backup of
all the good files, formatted the drive, and restored from the backup.
That's the best I can do for ya. Hope it doesn't need to be formatted.

I was running a program last night (tar) and it went wild while
untaring a file.

Which version of `tar' did you use? The 'p' option in some versions
(e.g. one from Fish Disk #445) will cause filesys damage, at least on
my A3000 w/ KS 2.0. Someone with a removable HD may be able to
test/debug it. On the few occasions I need to use `tar', I extract to
RAM: just in case it goes berzerk.
