Thanks! Running fsck_ffs does fix the issue. I attach the log at

> Can you run tunefs on the filesystem? If so, I could easily add an option to disable cylinder group checksums.

Yes we can run tunefs on this filesystem. What's more, all this disk is
partitioned and formatted after boot. (refer to the above log) It's weird that
this filesystem is newly created by gpart and newfs but doesn't function like
da0 (OS disk) and mapped md(4) devices.

Is it safe to just disable (checking?) cylinder group checksums?  It seems
still weird that we need users to manually turn off cylinder group checksums
every time after running newfs.
