I don't know if it's been reported or not, but it appears to be a memory related problem when fsck'ing large filesystems. We've got a 4gig filesystem with lot's of inodes, 1 per 1024, when running fsck we get the following error. This is after a new newfs on the drive. The filesystem is fine for now, and since we are using it for a proxy drive, it's not a big deal. But if this where anything else, it would be. webcache2# fsck -f /dev/rsd1a ** /dev/rsd1a ** File system is already clean cannot alloc 7871362 bytes for lncntp webcache2# Has this already been found and fixed? If so, where do I find the patches to 1.2. Bill
