Hi all, I have encountered something that seems to defy all of my knowledge ... and general sense too. Fsck isn't cleaning the file systems. I have tried running fsck in single and multi user mode with the file system mounted or unmounted but nothing seems to change the outcome. The most informative message I have gotten out of it yet simply states: >***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY ***** > >***** PLEASE RERUN FSCK ***** The file system is never modified and the frags never go away ... no matter how many times I have re-run fsck. I have reviewed the man page for fsck and don't think that I am missing any important switches on the command line. I just use the standard -y to say yes to everything. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on. I use FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE on a Compaq with a standard IDE hard drive. The machine runs fine ... this just bugs me and I'm curious if anyone can shed some light on the subject.
