Several foreground fsck in a row really helped. Konrad, which hardware are you using with FreeBSD on heavily loaded and i/o-bound systems? >> If you have other instances of filesystem corruption (which includes >> everything which can trigger a kernel panic) you need to use a foreground >> fsck to fix it. > > That's true. You should go down to single user mode by entering "shutdown > now", unmount your filesystems ("umount -a -t ufs") and check your > filesystem by "fsck -y".
