Hello all,
In doing some routine items on my FreeBSD box, it started behaving
oddly. I rebooted and to my surprise, I started receiving many
messages displaying information regarding that /usr has issues. It
puts me directly into single user mode and tells me to run fsck
manually. When I run fsck all by itself, here is what it tells me:
** /dev/ad0s1f
** Last Mounted on /usr
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=496000
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY
CLEAR? [yn]
This is the first time that I have ever run fsck and I have no idea
what this message means or what the best course of action on CLEAR
to take. Any input at all would be greatly appreciated (FreeBSD 6.0-
STABLE if it helps). Thank you all so much for your assistance.

After not getting any feedback, I decided to do
fsck -y
This returned my machine to usable. Before doing this while I was
just hitting "y" to the questions I did not understand, one of them
mentioned that it had to create a lost+found directory and after a
while that the directory was out of space. It asked me the question
to expand. So, I hit yes. Anyways, after all is said and done, that
filesystem has 500MB of more free space than it did before (it
doesn't take into account the fact that /usr/src is now empty and the
size of lost+found). What does the expand option do? Can I safely
delete lost+found? Like I mentioned before, this is my first time in
going through these types of issues and I have not found any
documentation that I can fully understand on fsck and what it does.
In any event, thank you all for your assistance.
