When I booted freebsd, the automatic fsck'ing failed on my /dev/rwd1s4e with the error: Can't open /dev/rwd1s4e: Invalid argument And dumped me into single-user mode. Trying to mount the partition manually gives: [morden] 0:33 ~ mount -t ufs /dev/wd1s4e /usr2 /dev/wd1s4e on /usr2: Incorrect super block. Now, this partition has been fine for several months since I installed it, although I have been playing around with upgrading my windows partition which may have buggered up my partition information. The rest of my partitions mount fine: /dev/wd0a on / (local) /dev/wd0s2f on /usr (local) /dev/wd0s2e on /var (local) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/wd1s3e on /home (local) /dev/wd1s1 on /d (local) /dev/wd1s5 on /e (local) I'm not sure what other information is needed to identify the problem and/or a solution, so if there is anything else you need to know I'll post it.
