Okay - that would have been the most obvious problem. :-)

As I said, I don't understand why this isn't the default.
A faster boot process into a potentially unstable filesystem
environment does not justify delegating low-level filesystem
check (and repair, and if needed, user interaction) into the
background.

You can entirely remove /usr/src. Depending on your source
retrieval method (freebsd-update, the "src" component, or
a normal SVN checkout) will create any directories beneath
/usr/src as they are needed. Probably a fresh new start for
/usr/src would be a good idea.

A way to identify offending files that stop you from removing
/usr/src completely could be the following:

	# ls -Rlao /usr/src | grep "schg"

However, it's rather untypical to have immutable files in
the /usr/src subtree; they did at least sometimes appear
(in the past) in /usr/obj. It could be possible that some
other tool wrote to /usr/src and modified things it wasn't
supposed to touch...
