Now fsck won't clean up without Out of curiousity, did you get this crash while attempting to get suspend/hibernation to work (i.e., they don't work, and you're trying to get them to work)? I've noticed that, on some laptops with buggy (?) APM implementations, the IDE controller/disks are never properly reinitialized at resume time, with the result that the FS gets really trashed (I basically had to reinstall FreeBSD, because, even if the directories get reconnected, various individual files are corrupted). I've fixed this on my laptop, but never made a proper patch (or fixed it "correctly"), as few people appear to have this problem (I appear to be the only one).
