Dear Marco.
Thanks. In my case, FreeBSD 5.3 dies in single user mode on nearly each disk activity (it is obviously a FreeBSD 5.3-issue with
my ASUS CUR-DLS based system).


Please take a look at fsck_ffs(8) man page. There is at the end of the description of the options an explanation of the lost+find facility. Obviously orphaned files and directories (and in most cases those which are expected to be some of them) are gathered and reconnected in lost+found. My 'periodic' cron-job deletes the contents of lost+found every 7 days.

Well the problem didn't dissappear. I was just checking the filesystem with the midnight commander, and suddenly mc froze in "ufs"-state. Now I'm running fsck again.
