a problem with solaris 9 x86

Hi,

I have installed solaris 9 on a DELL 600SC. I have implemented Solaris
Volume manager to create logical volumes to put much of the data on but
the main system filesystems still reside on staight hard partitions.

Each soft partition has a filesystem on it that is ufs.

The latest cluster patch has been applied.

I am having problems with one of the volumes (it is actually d1).

SYMPTOMS:
The lost+found dir fills up all of a sudden, while I am doing regular
work - the fileysystem /usr/local is mounted on this volume so it
contains all my scripts, src code etc for regular system maintenance.
It does have some additional software installed there such as rsync,
ssh, lsof etc.

When I go to save one of my scripts, I am unable to because the
filesystem is full. lost+found is over 600MB. When I try to fsck the
filesystem I get an error that says something like:

BAD SUPER BLOCK NUMBER OF DIRECTORIES OUT OF RANGE

and I have to fsck with one of the other superbocks. If I have had to do
this, then either all recent changes made to my scripts are gone, or all
data from the filesystem is totally gone as well.

I have deleted and recreated both the filesystem and the SVM device.

If someone has experienced this previously and has a fix/workaround that
would be great.

Thanks, Gillian
