 I only have 3G at the moment, but fsck is failing when the resulting
 memory usage would be 2.3G.  I have MAXDSIZ and DFLDSIZE set to 2.8G.
 I have 2G of swap space, none of which gets used.
 
 I'm getting a little pressure to reformat the array.  Is there any
 debugging you would like me to do?
 
 Thanks for your response,
