 That's kinda strange, dumpfs never did that to me. It appears to me that
 this filesystem has got quite severely corrupted. Did you try newfs on
 it?
 
 And another thing: try tuning up the -i, -f and -b parameters to newfs.
 I assume that on such a big filesystem average filesize will be much
 bigger than the "UNIX default" (10k), so you can safely set these to
 their maximums (and allocate inodes more scarcely).
