Hi,
When I run FSCK, I get
# fsck
/dev/da0s1a (NO WRITE)
or
# fsck -p
/dev/ad0s1a NO WRITE ACCESS
/dev/ad0s1a UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
WHy?
Thanks

For the sounds of it, you are trying to run fsck while having the partion/slice mounted. To run fsck the device needs to be unmounted. The exception is the / partion which can be mounted read only to be run.
Hope this helps, if not tell me when you are running the command, ie booting to single user mode, or after a full boot.

I am in single user mode when attempting this.
Are you saying that I need to force / to be read-only?
I'm kinda unclear on what you are saying here.
Thanks

Normally, when you enter single user mode / is mounted Read-Write, so that you can edit config files.
fsck needs partitions to be unmounted or in Read-Only mode(for / only) to work. To verify that / is mounted rw check /etc/mtab.
