I have heard this in conjunction with unclean shutdowns and fsck, but my system was not shut down recently, nor has /data (on a geom_stripe) been unmounted (cleanly or otherwise). The only thing I have done that could be related is to make a snapshot (later removed), but it was not of the filesystem being complained about. (Also, I create and mount snapshots of all my filesystems as part of my nightly TSM backup.) I guess I should shutdown and fsck just to make certain everything is okay. I am puzzled why this happened, though. (I've been running the backups for a while, and have not had any complaints.) BTW, I'm running RELENG_5, last rebuilt Nov. 19th 2004.
