Fwd: [Bug 255979] fsck bad inode number 2 (256) to nextinode

Hello,

The suggestion below has sent shivers down my spine.

I generally decided against running -STABLE version of FreeBSD because it
involved compiling userland and kernel.
From the response below from a bugzilla issue:

1. You have updated to the original 13.0 release which does indeed have
the problem that you note.
2. You need to update to the stable/13 release which has the fix in it.
    (a) You can either check out the stable/13 branch from git and build it
yourself
    (b) Or you can download the latest snapshot of stable/13 from
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/13.0-STABLE/amd64/Latest

It seems that this is taking me back to the days of buildworld/kernel,
installworld/install kernel, no??

Or did I just misunderstand the recommendation? And what it entails??
