standard disk layout - /usr is a separate mount on / 

/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1d on /var (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)
devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local)
/dev/md12.eli on /usr/home/betom/_2 (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/md11.eli on /usr/home/betom/_3 (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/md13.eli on /usr/home/betom/_1 (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)

IIRC, it may  also have happened when one of the GELI disks got full...
