BSD 5.4 fs problem...

[xinyu zeng]

I am using 'make install clean' command to get ports running.

I have ever make some big ports (like postgresql-server-8.0) and
system not hang immediately. I can see with top cpu more than 90% idle
so I am wondering if this is HD failure. What I am concern is 'Is
there any utilities can make a through check of my HD and see if it is
table'?
