Don't be too hasty to blame UFS.
Everytime this has happened to me (even on Linux) it has been
because the disk drive was failing. It has happened to me
*many* times with IDE drives. I wind up replacing about 1/4
of them every year, on average. But, I did go through
a "run" of those bad IBM drives :-)
Did you happen to drop the laptop? :-)
