fsck output

[DH]

I know this may sound silly - have you run fsck on those fs while they were unmounted - running fsck on a mounted fs can produce "odd" results......  If not, unmount the fs and then fsck it. If that would cause problems with running applications reboot into single user mode and run fsck ( that would be the preferred scenario ).

What options did you run fsck with?

Under normal circumstances after a crash these types of messages are
typical.
