Odd....

Hmmm...

Although it might be considered risky, each system where I run 5.x is
set up so that:

* Each file system backed by its own partitin (within a slice) is UFS1.
  This way, I can mount each of them while running 4.x and do repair
  work, for example.

* The system multi-boots FreeBSD, and I do most of my work on 4.x
  (at this time).  (My "production" systems run snapshots of 4.x
  that I build every couple of weeks.)

* I track each of RELENG_4 and RELENG_5 (was HEAD before RELENG_5 was
  tagged) on a daily basis (unless "cvs update" shows no changes to the
  sources in question since last time).

I am not seeing the problems you report.

In particular, here's my build machine (the laptop is still doing this
morning's "make buildworld" for RELENG_5, so it won't be done for a
while):

First, RELENG_5, freshly built:

(You may see that more file systems show up under RELENG_4.  I do not
mount the RELENG_4 file systems necessary for running the system by
default when booting 5.x or higher.)

As noted, I have not had the problems you are reporting.  The last issue
I recall was something that was committed to fsck (iirC) by Matt Dillon
(to avoid a 4.x fsck seeing a superblock updated by a 5.x fsck as broken).
As implied by the committer, that wa a while back.

Peace,
