I recently inserted a USB memory stick and my 5.4 Stable machine rebooted suddenly. I now get the following on boot : Starting file system checks : /dev/ad0s3a: UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=2900154 /dev/ad0s3a: UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. Automatic file system check failed; help! Oct. 30 20:14:53 init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode When I run fsck, I get the folllowing : ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=2900154 UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY CLEAR? [yn] ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames DUP/BAD I=2900154 OWNER=root MODE=100644 SIZE=93 MTIME=Mar 25 04:13 2004 FILE=/usr/ports/net/ldapbrowser/distinfo UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY REMOVE?

[yn] UNREF FILE I=471058 OWNER=root MODE=100644 SIZE=72 MTIME=Oct 30 19:03 2005 RECONNECT? [yn] CLEAR? [yn] I then get similar messages for a dozen files, then : ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD SALVAGE? [yn] BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS SALVAGE? [yn] FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? [yn] And so on... Should I just answer yes to all questions and hope for the best, or is there a better way of saving the day ? Needless to say, my whole system is on /dev/ad0s3a. Also, what could have caused the problem ? I recently updated my kernel to include HFS support. Could it be linked ? Thanks all, Edward
