Here's some questions:

If the server was idle (e.g. absolutely no processes running aside from login shell and terminal and no disk access occurring) does it make sense that the filesystem would have had a problem after being improperly unmounted?

Also, how long should an 'fsck' on a 500GB partition take? It's been running for almost 12 hours now, and the latest output is still "Phase 1 - check blocks and sizes"; is something wrong or is fsck still doing its thing?

I booted into single-user mode and ran 'fsck' - the latest output to the terminal says:

****    FILE SYSTEM MARKED CLEAN        ****
        /dev/da0s1e
        Last Mounted on /usr
        Phase 1 - check blocks and sizes

**** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY ****


Can't be only this. It should have outputted something else between
Phase 1 and FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY.


Will fsck continue attempting to fix the filesystem? Have I suffered a total loss or is fsck still doing its thing?


Read man fsck and its see also section.
