fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 647172276 bytes for inoinfo

[Einstein Oliveira]

Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p1 and I found some messages about a 
problem like this in freebsd-current a few months ago.

The fact is that this problem has just ocurred (on 5.4-RELEASE-p1), 
probably because of a power outage (I didn't find anything in logs that 
would cause a forced reboot).

Here is some information:

[fsck]

# fsck /usr
** /dev/ad0s1f
** Last Mounted on /usr
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 647172276 bytes for inoinfo

[dumpfs]

# dumpfs /usr
....

I found in the discussion mentioned above

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=195794+200562+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-current/20050417.freebsd-current

this possible solution:

>                 getblk(&cgblk, cgtod(&sblock, c), sblock.fs_cgsize);
>                 if (sblock.fs_magic == FS_UFS2_MAGIC)
>                         inosused = cgrp.cg_initediblk;

but it doesn't solve the problem.

Any ideas ?
