My FAT32 drive came up with errors after a power-failure-induced reboot, and recommended that I run fsck_msdosfs manually. However, fsck_msdosfs fails: # fsck_msdosfs /dev/ad3s1 ** /dev/ad3s1 ** Phase 1 - Read and Compare FATs No space for FAT (Cannot allocate memory)# I've tried googling for it and I can't find anything other than a bug being mentioned/filed for netbsd which is obviously related, but no fix was forthcoming. Does anyone have any ideas how I can proceed? Thanks, - Ben
