When booting multi-user, fsck is run in the background, meaning the system is fully up + usable even before the fsck has started. Consider using background_fsck="no" in /etc/rc.conf if you prefer the old behaviour. Otherwise, boot single-user then do the fsck. You could also consider using clri(8) to clear the inode (190). Do this in single-user while the filesystem is not mounted. After using clri, run fsck a couple times. Also, are there any kernel messages about ATA/SCSI disk errors or other anomalies? -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
