Hello,

I just had a massive power failure and my raid drive is failing with a:

cannot alloc NNN bytes for blockmap
cannot alloc NNN bytes for lncntp

searching the archives and man pages for both OpenBSD and FreeBSD reveals:

fsck_ffs(3) freebsd
"Fsck_ffs's request for memory for its virtual memory tables
failed. This should never happen. Fsck_ffs terminates on
this error condition. See a guru."

So here I am. The raid drive is on a hardware raid areca 1220, in the
raid bios and volume check shows no errors so I am led to believe the
raid is still in tact.

Booting OpenBSD 4.3 drops to single user and says to manually run
fsck_ffs. Doing so produces no different results, just the above error
messages.

/etc/fstab (line of interest):
/dev/sd0a /pub_raid ffs rw,noexec,softdep 0 2

I can't seem to edit my fstab in single user mode because everything
is ro. System has 2GB of real memory and is running bsd.mp GENERIC. I
can get a dmesg but it will take me some time to get a serial
connected to this machine.

Any answers besides reformat would be splended. I am booting into
single CPU bsd now to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Jason
