You could have a look at tunefs(8) and turn soft updates off for
fsck'ing.

Sounds like a HW issue to me.



Anyway to confirm this? It is not a very old drive and the filesystem
is still readable,
I suppose it could have developed some bad sectors..


If you have another machine you can boot from, or another disk, you can 
install the smartmontools port (/usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools) and use 
that to see what the status of the drive is.

Is there a way to flag them as bad without formating the drive?

fsck says "UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY"

2005-08-10 Thread Jerahmy Pocott

Hello everyone,

After a server lost power unexpectedly (read: someone pulled the plug  
out), on reboot

the automatic fsck failed with "UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY" as
the message. Running fsck interactively doesn't seem to be able to  
fix it..


Every time in phase one it says:

CANNOT READ: BLK 66322496
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY

CONTINUE? [yn]  

THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 66322510,

and the file system is marked as dirty still.. It isn't the root  
partition or anything,
so I can boot the system and mount it read only but I can't repair  
the damage..


Any ideas on what I could try to fix this?

Thanks!
