Hi: I woke op to a crash this morning after a powerfailure, and now dmesg shows this: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ac1c0db9af2 removed. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad6s1a is ufsid/442f8ac1c0db9af2. GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ac5a7fa5dda removed. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad6s1d is ufsid/442f8ac5a7fa5dda.

GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ac5a7fa5dda removed. GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ac950b22b46 removed. GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ad3e5c88ab8 removed. GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ad59f647596 removed. GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/442f8ae2200a8064 removed. The problem is that I have no idea which files were affected. So, now some questions: First, how do I determine which files were corrupted? And how do I recover these files? Second, / is mostly read-only, in fact, I can't think of any file on that partition that should be modified at all: /tmp is on a separate partition, I have source files on /usr/local rather than the default, in fact, only root user files are modified during a normal day, but it's been days since I logged in as root. How do I protect read-only files from being corrupted in the first place? I have tried mounting / read-only but that gave a load of other problems.
