Kinda, see this thread:=20

=46rom all of my experience, you can consider this filesystem busted. Try t=
o get=20
as much data off it as you can (chances are some files are so corrupt that=
=20
you'll get a hang when you try to copy them) and take care to preserve file=
=20
modes & permissions, then newfs and restore.

It's kinda sad, but right now soft-updates must probably be considered unsa=
fe=20
for some configurations. The reliability in the case of crashes is about ju=
st=20
as bad as mounting something async... my guess is that it's not really a ne=
w=20
bug in softupdates, but rather effects from modern big ata drives with big=
=20
caches and write caching enabled (and no tagged queueing - although IIRC th=
e=20
ata tags support is disabled in 5.x and -CURRENT anyway).
