It didn't help us.
Turning off logging in /etc/vfstab, doing a bos shutdown, using lockfs
-f on each /vice partition, and rebooting resulted in an fsck of every
/vice partition and the same exact filesystem inconsistency errors
on each one, which got fixed by fsck, but forced a full salvage to be
done, at which point salvager blew away all sorts of good data.
Another full server restore from tape.
