    Hi Fellows

    Can someone shed some light on whether it is possible to do a fsck check on
    a dirty file system if it is installed (and not mounted) as a second HDD on
    a new system install. I have a mail server that crashed this morning and
    now fails to boot even into single user mode.

    So I installed a clean install of FreeBSD 4.9 on a spare HDD and have tried
    to mount the old drive, but it complains about a "Filesystem is not clean -
    run fsck". When I do this it seems to want to "WARNING: R/W mount of /var
    denied." /var is already mounted on da0s1f. Is there any way to run
    fsck to clean up the filesystem on /dev/da1s1f so that it can be mounted as
    a second HDD in this type of setup?

    Are there any other suggestions as to how to clean it up?

    Regards

    Tim
