[eras mus]

Dear List,

I tried

fsck -yf /usr yesterday evening at 6 pm.

Left it running and morning 10 a.m today found the message

FILE SYSTEM DIRTY
FILE SYSTEM MODIFIED
rerun fsck

Then went in setup and changed boot made APIC disabed.
and went into boot option 2 boot ACPI disabled.


It gave the following message:

The following filesystem HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY
ufs: /dev/ad4s1e(/usr)
Automatic file system  check failed: help!
Jan 10 16:16:59 init:/bin/sh on etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to
single user mode


As advice by Polytropon burnt alive CD And ran fsck manually.
 # fsck -yfv /dev/ad4s1a
 # fsck -yfv /dev/ad4s1d

are successful.
But when ran
 # fsck -yfv /dev/ad4s1e

It was messages as in
