I think that i tracked down the problem.
When fsck_ffs runs on dirty gjournaled filesystem in preen mode, it
checks it correctly, and marks it clean but exits too soon and does not
call mount with MNT_RELOAD so the superblock is not being reread from
the disk and the kernel still thinks that the filesystem is dirty,
alshough on-disk it has been marked clean.
My quick and dirty hack was instead of just calling exit(0) in
src/sbin/fsck_ffs/main.c::checkfilesys() after the call to
gjournal_check(), i do a nasty goto to the end of the function where
there is additional code which checks if the filesystem is mounted, and
if it is, then it tries to reload the superblock and the other disk/fs
data. Ideally this could be done better :) I'll try to come up with
something and file a PR if someone doesn't read this and make a better fix.
