soft partition issues

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen any issues with their soft
partitions on both Solaris 8 & 9.

Last Nov we had a Sol 8 server which had a soft partition (with logging)
which for no reason started logging lines like:
ufs: [ID 879645 kern.notice] NOTICE: /opt: unexpected free inode xxxx, run
fsck(1M) -o f

Today on a Sol 9 server a soft partition (with logging) did the same thing:
Jun 29 08:08:19 xxxxxxxxx ufs: [ID 879645 kern.notice] NOTICE: /opt:
unexpected free inode 30174, run fsck(1M) -o f

We also have a few Sol 9 servers which have soft partitions (with logging)
and they can use their partitions without any problems, but sometimes when
you unmount the filesystem, you cannot remount it without newfs'ing it! Here
is the screen capture of when it happened last time:

# umount /notes/translog
# mount /notes/translog
mount: Operation not applicable
mount: cannot mount /dev/md/dsk/d55
# metastat d55
d55: Soft Partition
    Device: d5
    State: Okay
    Size: 10485760 blocks (5.0 GB)
        Extent Start Block Block count
