As I touch parts of the fs kernel, I've been adding %Zs to the prints. It sounds like the cache of your "main" file system is corrupt. You might try a recover of main's cache: reboot the file server and go into config mode, then type: recover main end This should restore your "main" to the way it was at the last dump (typically 5:00 AM), so you'd lose any changes made since then, but if "main"'s cache is corrupt, you've effectively lost them already.
