Our amd64 6.1-STABLE system is used to collect backup dumps from production
systems (mostly -- Solaris) via NFS. When in progrss, the dumps arrive at an
average rate of 20Mb/s.
Every once in a while I notice a discrepancy in the amount of used space on
the backup FS as reported by df vs. that reported by the total du.
Unmounting the FS and fsck-ing it fixes the problem with fsck reporting
(despite the clean unmount):
SUMMARY BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK
SALVAGE? yes
The FS is intended for very few very large files and was created
with "newfs -b 65536 -O1" (no softupdates).
This workaround (explicit fsck) is acceptable for us, but it is a sign of some
kind of rot, and I thought, you'd like to know...
Yours,
