The system must have crashed while the filesystem was mounted rw for
FreeBSD to notice the problem at boot time.  After a crash it is normal
for fsck to find some problems, especially for async-mounted filesystems.
FreeBSD's ext2fs doesn't support async mounting, but it cheats and
forces async operation in some cases (mainly for inode writes).
