Hi,

Thanks for the answers, I did some more googling and ended up with:

sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10  (GEOM seems to writeprotect things...)
dd if=/dev/ad6 of=/dev/ad6 count=1 seek=xxxxxxx  (lba sector with error)

That fixed the unrecoverable read errors and I was then able to run fsck 
to completion, although it reported a couple of unimportant files lost, 
which I can get from the backup. (Yes, we do run daily backup to an USB 
disk)


Best Regards,
