 Add some info about the root of the problem from Kirk McKusick:
 
 http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2003/msg04802.html
 
 : Executive summary: you need to run `fsck -f -p' whenever you switch
 : to or from a 4.X (stable) and a 5.X (current) kernel. The reason
 : is that the UFS1 superblock summary information is maintained in
 : different parts of the superblock on these two systems. Neither
 : system maintains the summary information used by the other. There
 : is no risk of trashing your filesystem if you fail to run the fsck,
 : but the information reported by `df' will be wrong until you run
 : the fsck.
