I had some inconsistancies today so I ran fsck, fixed anything that fsck told 
me to fix and I thought I was out of the woods.  I reboot and everything comes
up normally.  I do some intense disk applications and then run fsck -p to
see if problems I was having were just a fluke.  This is what I got:

/dev/rsd0a: FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED)
/dev/rsd0a: CLEAN FLAG NOT SET IN SUPERBLOCK (FIXED)
/dev/rsd0a: 31031 files, 456466 used, 672661 free (2517 frags, 83768 blocks, 
0.2% fragmentation)

I thought the "FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED)" was strange so
I did some more disk intensive stuff, ran fsck -p and I got the same output
as above.  I tried this one 2 other FreeBSD machines and I did not get the 
"FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED)" error.

What I would like to know is if this problem has something to do with my 
Harddrive and controller.

I am running FreeBSD 2.2-960612-SNAP on a P166 with 32 megs of ram, an
Adaptec 2940UW controller and a Quantum XP32150W L912 Harddive.

Thanks in advance,

Paul Saab
