And then after that, you tried the regular:

fsck_ffs -y /dev/da0s1f

Yes, with the same error about bytes needed for inphead.

Something wicked must have happened to the filesystem when the hardware raid failed one disk too many.

What surprised me most is that FreeBSD 5.4 simply stops doing anything at all at a certain point. Maybe I should find a 4.x disk and see what fsck gives me.

This partition would be an interesting one for filesystem developers, if only there weren't all those private mailboxes on it :)
