Here is what I get when I run fsck /dev/ad8s1f :

**fsck /dev/ad8s1f
**Last Mounted on /usr
Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes

UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=2802880
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY

(I answered n to all the remove? [yn] questions)

UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=3297280
UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=3297408

INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=4008454 (1440 should be 384)

PHASE 2 - Check Pathnames
DUP/BAD I=3297280 OWNER = ROOT MODE=40755 SIZE=8192 MTIME= JUL 21 14:25 2008
DIR= /lib

Hope this give some useful information.
