Solved FILE SYSTEM IS LEFT MARKED AS DIRTY

Since creating this thread, I've not shut down my system and fortunately, the system has not rebooted even once.

cy@ fsck saved me a lot, but now the message is clear and as you can see in the text, there is a problem with the file system.

My point is that unlike Linux, fsck will not write to the filesystem if it is already mounted. I took the RHCE course about 15-17 years ago. On the course a colleague of mine ran fsck on a live filesystem. It completely corrupted it. The FreeBSD fsck will check the filesystem in read-only mode when it is already mounted. This is what I meant by, it is designed to protect you. Or to put it more bluntly, unlike Linux fsck, the FreeBSD fsck is designed to protect you from yourself.
