Do you use softupdates? In early days of softupdates, when the system crashed, fsck didn't seem to fix it cleanly. The fsck appeared to correct the problem but it really didn't. So I turned off softupdates (tunefs -n disable /dev/xxxx) and did fsck manually. It found the problem and fixed it. Then I turned back softupdates on. I'm not sure this helps but you might want to try it. Tammy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
