thats why running fsck_ext2fs on the partition should take care of the
issues.

it doesn't mean your partition is actually "dirty", its just that freebsd
doesn't (usually) attempt to mount partitions that were incorrectly
unmounted.

Let me know if it works. If you dont have ext2 support in fsck yet - you
can find the source in /usr/ports/sysutils/fsck_ext2fs

I can't find that port. I have cvsup my ports and I have even searched on the FreeBSD home page of ports collection but it didn't find it. Are you sure about the name?
