The following reply was made to PR kern/92432; it has been noted by GNATS.

It seemed to be fixed by each reboot and still kept coming back so I never tried to force fsck. I never had any error message about it while booting or in /var/log/messages. Assuming "fsck -f" fixes it definitely, when such problems occur, should a message be output and the file system be marked "unclean" or something like that so that a reboot would somehow force the user to "fsck -f" ? (sorry if if seems stupid). Thanks again, Regards, jshelp
