Main board is an ASUS SP3G + i486DX4 with the SCSI devices attached
directly to the motherboard's NCR53c810 controller. 16 MB RAM.
The main board and the SCSI disks are configured as suggested by
Stefan Esser <se@zpr.uni-koeln.de> (who's one of the authors of the
NCR device driver and who uses a similar configuration; he answered
when I reported a similar problem in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc about
a month ago), as follows: Main board has all PCI options enabled
except ISA-GAT; "refresh" is configured as "normal". Disks have auto
reallocation on read/write errors, early recovery and error posting
enabled.
There are three SCSI devices: Two equivalent SCSI disks and one tape
drive (see the logs below for exact model names). SCSI cabling is
short (all devices are in one casing).
One disk drive has only one partition which contains the FreeBSD
system. The other disk just contains a swap partition.
Following in this section are the kernel config file and the kernel's
logged boot-up messages.
The kernel config file looks like this:

>Description:
Every once in a while, my daily "fsck -n" run reports truncated,
unreferenced and/or bad inodes or names pointing to unallocated
inodes. So far, any real damage to data files hasn't occured (as far
as I have checked); seems like it's always just the filesystem's
meta-data which is corrupt. (Exactly the same errors also occur when
`fsck'ing in single-user mode with r/o-mounted file system, so this is
not just a problem specific to running `fsck' in multi-user.)
The same problem may also have caused the following panic:
mode=0100644, inum=18573, fs=/
panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc
When I reported a similar problem to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc about
a month ago (subject = "2.0.5R: bad inodes once a week...", msg-id =
<41vgso$pk0@irzr17.inf.tu-dresden.de>), Stefan Esser
<se@zpr.uni-koeln.de> (co-author of the NCR device driver) responded
and helped me to tune my main board and SCSI setup and make sure that
the SCSI disks report possible problems to the device driver (see
Config section above). However, the kernel has never logged any
device problems.
For these reasons (only meta-data corruption and no hardware problems
logged) I don't believe in a hardware failure; rather, I guess there
might be something wrong with the inode (or other meta-data) update
code. However I wonder why I seem to be the only one who's
experiencing this; perhaps my kernel configuration is the key to this.
