So far I've tried all the above apart from the repair - I was hoping to

NFS ....). They're all backed up of course, it's just a PITA trying to
remember which config file to restore some are obvious but others not. Plus
I've got non-standard packages (from packman etc) on there which I'm not
sure repair will honour.

That is why I do a reboot and a fsck myself first always. Onthe plus
side a repair repairs only those things that are broken So it will only
repair those files that are broken.

You can even decide what to look for and what not. It will probably also
tell you what it has found and what it has changed (not 100% sure of how
and where it does this)

I have done a chown or chmod on /etc once and a repair just put that
back and did not overwrite anything.

So now will be the ideal moment to look at battery backup and automatic
shutdown and restart in case of powerfailure. ;-)
