I'm currently in a fix.  I shutdown my system while doing a tar to tape.  The
system shutdown properly but now when I reboot I get:

/lib/ld.so: cache "/etc/ld.co.cache' is corrupt.

This message appears when I do anything... changing directories, signing on or
off, etc.

When I shutdown, i get:

... /etc/mtab.temp : no room on device.

I've tried booting from diskette and deleting those files (actually renaming
them just in case) after which they're rebuilt with exactly the same error.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what to try next?  Is there a manpage that
describes this problem?

TIA for any help...

I think you mean '/etc/ld.so.conf'.  This should be a list of directories
which should be searched for shared libraries.  Mine contains the
following:

----------cut here----------
/usr/local/lib
/usr/X386/lib
/usr/openwin/lib
----------cut here----------

: When I shutdown, i get:

: ... /etc/mtab.temp : no room on device.

Try 'df' and 'df -i'.  You are either out of disk space or out of inodes.

Just rerun "ldconfig" or "rm /etc/ld.so.cache"
