I thought I was running fsck manually... -p is prune mode, which is normally done automatically at startup.

You can't fsck a mounted filesystem. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
