Hi Peter,
The hard drive is in the fridge right now, in case it's a heat problem.
It's FreeBSD version 4.x. It's getting hard read errors, and I'm using -y
with fsck so it will continue on to the next error without prompting from
me. The same thing happens whether I use the -y flag or not. It says that
certain sectors are bad, moves on to the next bad sectors, and eventually
says I need to rerun fsck. It's like "Groundhog Day", I get the same thing
over and over and over... Nothing happened since the last boot, I was
gzipping up the home folders to transfer to a new server (just in time I
guess...) and it started getting really slowly. So I rebooted it from the
command line and when it came back up it had problems. It has been
restarted a few times in the past week and showed no errors at all before
yesterday.
It found the same type of errors on the /var partition and dealt with those
without problems. So I'm wondering what the difference might be... The /var
partition found errors, fixed them, and marked the partition as clean.
Maybe I can mount a dirty partition..... I just need the data off it...

Can you give some more details please.
What version of FreeBSD is this?
What are the errors?
What options are you giving fsck?
What happened between the last time /usr fsck'd correctly and now?
I don't have a script to re-create directories but it would be fairly
easy to write one.
