Not only that, but the system was booted with a .PAR file that made caching impossible. Finally, after checking for lost files by examining disk space usage, I see where 26,000 blocks are still missing, which is reasonable for the number of files about which I got the invalid header message.

Of course, I could believe the file headers are bad... but in this case, how might I recover this space and identify the files? Also, why didn't VFY identify these headers as bad when I ran it in the mode where it checks the BITTABLE vs. INDEXFILE allocations and also supposedly checks file headers? (This is the mode when you specify no switch.)
