Anything in /etc/shutdown log? Any dumps in /var/adm/crash?

nothing in /var/adm/crash
/etc/shutdownlog says reboot by root! 11:56am

[Pete Randall]

Sounds like someone who was logged in as root issued the reboot command - which does not do a graceful shutdown, thus causing your file corruption.

corruption of what file?

[Pete Randall]

Oh! Sorry Greg, I was thinking of another thread. Disregard the corruption comment.
