Next boot may fix your problem or it may not. It is a good idea to do it in single user mode but if you don't have console/physical access to the box then maybe this could help you: fsck_y_enable="YES" Just add that into the /etc/rc.conf, reboot and wait awhile. After the machine is up and running, fsck it and see if it throws any errors. Let us know how it goes.
