Anyone else wake up to a totally hosed system this morning? A substantial portion of my binaries (including bash) are wrecked and show up as "data" when I use the "file" command on them. No ELF header at all.
Everything was fine last night. I'm assuming prelink was the culprit. However, last time prelink was updated was 2 days ago, not 1, so last night would have been the second time it was run, not the first. Weird...
Interesting....
A couple days ago my co-worker was telling me that he turned on his previously fine FCv1 laptop and most of his binaries were hosed. On examination the binaries had log files (/var/log/*) contents interspersed through them. He reinstalled.
It could be complete unrelated of course.
