 Unforunately, something's still broke.  At first, when I tried

 disabled softupdates on /var and /tmp and ran fsck on those

 the filesystem again, this time getting a panic:

 Uptime: 6m40s

 Is there a way to identify and fix these errors?  I'm thinking
 a newfs of both /var and /tmp is in order.  I don't really care
 about /tmp, and I've backed up /var using dump(8).  My concern
 is if I restore /var on top of a newfs'd filesystem, I'll
 restore my broken files and have the same problem again.

New external harddrive solved the problem quite nicely.

7.0-BETA3 CD-ROM.  After a few minutes of writing to the disk after
newfs, I got more panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch errors.  Since
the device I'm writing to is a 3-day old Maxtor OneTouch III external

Yes, for whatever reason FreeBSD is unable to reliably perform I/O to 
the drive (hence the errors dumping).

I have an older Maxtor drive (40GB) that refuses to allow FreeBSD to install, 
but has worked flawlessly with Linux. (It would work very slowly in PIO mode, 
but not DMA, which is not a whole lot of use).  I would be interested to hear 
if your replacement disk works.

Well, having stumped all the experts, I decided to reinstall from
7.0-BETA3 CD-ROM.  After a few minutes of writing to the disk after
newfs, I got more panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch errors.  Since
the device I'm writing to is a 3-day old Maxtor OneTouch III external
HD, I've decided it must be a hardware failure and am returing the
drive.

Just a follow-up...  Everytime I run a  manual fsck on the problem
filesystems, it returns:


BLK(S) MISSING IN BITMAPS
SALVAGE?

* FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *


So it would appear that fsck is unable to repair damage, is that correct?
