this doesn't have to mean much.
I recently wanted to install OpenBSD on a machine which also claimed to

have all file systems clean, but emitted spurious error messages in

white-on-blue on the screen nevertheless. Running fsck -f on the file

system revealed that it *was* corrupted, and trying to repair it

failed, repeatedly, always with the same error messages. I concluded

that the drive was bad.
Kind regards,
