Hi netters,

I hope someone can help me.  When I recompile the kernel
and restart the system, the fsck fails.

The wd0a partition works fine, but thwe wd0h partition
which is /usr give me errors.

/dev/rwd0h: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY:
      /dev/rwd0h (/usr)
Automatic file system check failed... help!

and when I run fsck manually I get.

** /dev/rwd0h
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG

LOOK FOR ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCK?

I have ran fsck -b 32 but it still does not solve the
problem.

Can someone give me any suggestions.  I do not have the storage
space to backup /usr and then newfs it.

Thanks inadvance,

Gary.
