When I run fsck and then mount an old file system, one created under 1.1.5, I get these warnings: niss# fsck /dev/rsd2a sd2: raw partition size != slice size sd2: start 0, end 665153, size 665154 sd2c: start 0, end 660141, size 660141 ** /dev/rsd2a ** Last Mounted on /mnt ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups 1395 files, 13418 used, 6341 free (293 frags, 756 blocks, 1.5% fragmentation) Casual examination of the code in kern/subr_diskslice.c, the source of the errors, seem to indicate this is a `harmless' warning. However, I have misgivings about ignoring any warning. Is it safe to use these file systems as they are? Or will they gradually degrade if I use them in read/write mode?
