Unexpected soft update inconsistency

[Gavin Grabias]

Hi Everyone,

A user is having a problem accessing their maildir.  The problem arose 
when we tried to access it as well.  When doing an ls in their directory 
the one file returns the following:
ls -l 
1104761413.M777698P25745V0400FF01I0239B49E_0.rmail4.enter.net\,S\=6806
ls: 
1104761413.M777698P25745V0400FF01I0239B49E_0.rmail4.enter.net,S=6806: 
Bad file descriptor


So our logical approach was to reboot the machine in the middle of the 
night and fsck it.  However, that returned the following results and 
will not continue:

unexpected soft update inconsitency cannot fix, first entry in dir 
contains . filename
inumber -1012078592 out of range.
missing '.' I=31407659

My thoughts are to delete the inode that is out of range, and re-fsck it 
one night.  Is my thinking logical or does this filesystem need to be 
completely redone.

System Stats:
Freebsd 4.10-R
