Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After having my freebsd 4.0-current machine reboot on me for no apparent reason, one of my data disks (the one without backups, of course) cannot be cleaned up using fsck. When running it via "fsck -y", during Phase 1, I get many (repeatedly) at various "I's": 3355447 DUP I=1734 UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY and always end up getting: ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity UNREF DIR I=333312 OWNER=ingber MODE=40755 SIZE=512 MTIME=Jul 21 18:20 1999 RECONNECT? yes NO lost+found DIRECTORY CREATE? yes DIR I=333312 CONNECTED. PARENT WAS I=2 fsck: cannot find inode 15872 at which point it stops. I've tried it running it many times, always with the same result. When I try to "mount -r" the filesystem, it still tells me that there's a lot of used space, even though when looking into it (ls), it shows it as empty. Any hopes for this disk?
