Hello,
I recently had a powercut to my FreeBSD home server, and I'm now getting
the following messages at startup:
Starting file system checks:

THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY:
mfs: md (/tmp)
Unknown error; help!
NEnter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
The problem is, I'm sure, is essentially identical to that described in,
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-current@freebsd.org/msg21675.html
namely that the entry for the memory filesystem, /tmp, in /etc/fstab is
confusing fsck. My /etc/fstab looks like,
# cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump
Pass#
/dev/ad8s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad8s1a / ufs rw 1 1
md /tmp mfs rw,-s64m
2 2
/dev/ad8s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad8s1e /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad8s1d /var/tmp ufs rw 3 3
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d /svn ufs rw 2 2
/dev/mirror/gm0s2d /data ufs rw 2 2
/dev/mirror/gm0s3d /music ufs rw 2 2
I can get the system to boot quite happily by carrying on into single
user mode and exiting, but I still get the same behaviour next reboot.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards,
Chris
