Re: fsck updating but not fixing filesystem



> I have a reasonably large ffs filesystem (7.4GB, 35,459,874 files)
I gues you mean 7.4TB?

I remember (shudder) something similar, where the file server would panic 
(bad dir), fsck would fix some dirs (missing . or ..), the file server 
would panic ... rinse and repeat.

Slightly short of me performing dump-newfs-restore, the problem disappeared.
I never found out what was wrong.

I think the general consensus is that ffs can be inconsistent it ways fsck 
is unable to detect.
