I'm trying to fix this: [ML] fsck is not needed under FreeBSD if the filesystem has been cleanly unmounted. umount sets a clean flag, which fsck honors and do not do any checks. you can force fsck with -f flag to fsck > # fsck > ** /dev/rwd0s1a > ** Last Mounted on / > ** Root file system > ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes > ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames > ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity > ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts > ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups > 1001 files, 19089 used, 20558 free (446 frags, 2514 blocks, 1.1% > fragmentation) > ***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY ***** [ML] never, ever, do an fsck on a mounted filesystem. You will lose data, and you may even lose filesystems. If you want to fsck a filesystem while the system is running, umount the filesystem first, or at the very least, remount it read-only. If you want to fsck filesystems on boot, even though they have been cleanly umounted on shutdown, boot into standalone mode and then do a fsck -f. then reboot (not strictly neccessary, but a good idea anyway, because / is mounted read-only--you cannot boot without at least /, and the kernel mounts it for you). In order to boot standalone, press space while the boot countdown runs, and then enter -s after boot > Can you help? (or who can?)
