      I've installed pfSense 1.2.3 RELEASE on my box (had 1.2.2 running on it for a year). Logged via SSH and executed fsck. The output was strange:

      fsck

        Why were you running fsck on a mounted filesystem?  Of course this isn't going to work!  Things are changing as it is looking at them, and it has no permission to change anything anyway.  Was there a problem that led you to want to run fsck?

          I just wanted to ensure everything is allright
          Should I now repair partition with fsck -y in single user mode or it is normal?

            There is no indication there is a problem.  If there was, fsck should run automatically at boot.

              So… what do these errors mean actually?

                On a quiescent filesystem, they might mean something.  On an active one, with things changing, they mean nothing.  If you want to know what specifically the messages might mean in a real situation, go look at some freebsd documentation.

                  Ok, I assume it's nothing to worry about
