fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 3221471004 bytes for inoinfo

[Christian Hiris]

When I rebooted the machine I got a "giving up on xx buffers" message and all 
filesystems marked dirty. After rebooting the system background fsck run and 
left one filesystem dirty - "unexpected softupdate inconsistency". Then the 
system died within 20 seconds. After that I rebooted into single user mode 
started fsck manually:

matrix010# fsck -y /jail
** /dev/vinum/vinum0
** Last Mounted on /jail
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 3221471004 bytes for inoinfo
   
I got the same result when I run fsck_ufs with several alternate super blocks:

matrix010# fsck_ufs -b 376512 /jail
Alternate super block location: 376512
** /dev/vinum/vinum0
** Last Mounted on
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes

The filesystem held about 1.3 million files, softupdates enabled.
Is there any other way recover this filesystem on the fly? 

Thanks!
