Please shed some light as to your filesystem and disk setup.
Partitioning details, any GEOM layers you use, you get the idea.
The more verbose the better.  Please be sure to state which filesystems
use softupdates and which do not (this matters a lot in this situation).

As for the actual crash -- I assume the filesystem in question which
induced this has softupdates.

Have you booted this box into single-user and issued a manual fsck on
all the filesystems?  If not, please do so ASAP and provide details of
the results.

These are confirmed cases of background_fsck not properly
catching/dealing with all filesystem errors, thus letting some
transparently pass through.  You are running 7.4-p2, which makes this
likelihood even more probable.  This is why I advocate (and have for
years) background_fsck="no" in rc.conf.  I can dig up the (very long and
semi-heated) thread discussing this if you want, but I probably won't
get to it until next week.  I have too much going on with job-related
things outside of FreeBSD to spend a lot of time with it now.
