Hello,

Today, I had a drive fail in a large raid 5 array hosted off of a ciss =
device. I removed the bad drive but before I was able to get another =
drive swapped in, another drive seemed to just lose power and then the =
system panicked. =20

I swapped in a spare drive and restarted the system. The controller said =
the array was 'ok' and would recover. However, FreeBSD is having a hard =
time fsck'ing the partition.

At the time of the crash, I was using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2, however I have =
since updated to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4. The array has 1 partition and 2 =
slices - one 4GB swap slice and 1 400+GB storage slice. This was being =
used in a samba pilot and had the softupdates, suiddir, noexec, nodev =
and acl options enabled.

Basically, in phase 1 fsck -y complains that it cannot allocate enough =
bytes for inoinfo, then there are a bunch of the following:

UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=3D#######
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY

then finally:

fsck_4.2bsd: bad inode number 3556352 to nextinode

Any ideas?

-Will
