[issue1418] HAMMER and problem with external drive(s)

[Joel K. Pettersson (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

I just thought of (in hindsight obvious) logging into single-user mode to get a
full output in one place; however, trying then to reproduce it the hammer errors
were the end of the issue.

The second error message was merely the "Forcing read-only mode" one.
I noticed doing multiple attempts that the inode numbered in the first message
was the same (4295132199), and I wondered if the problem could be due to
filesystem corruption as a result of writing after the triggering (but, I
suppose, before detection) of the now-fixed first problem - and so I tried
reformatting the USB-connected drive, and then it - and further data copying -
worked. So I suppose the problem is resolved.
