So far so good - I'm seeing this every time it mounts :
sd0: fabricating a geometry
/dev/sd0a: file system not clean (fs_clean=40); please fsck(8)
/dev/sd0a: lost blocks 0 files 0
I remount it daily on a moderatly busy LAN/mail server to do
dumps and misc backups to it.

It seems to be working just fine anyway:

/dev/sd0a     145G      41G      103G    28%    /mnt/usbdrive

This is with 2.0_STABLE NetBSD 2.0_STABLE (GENERIC) (pulled up
using cvs up -Pd -r netbsd-2)
