I would suspect a bug in fsck and obtain the latest fsck patch. Using a backup superblock is certainly not indicated. Can you mount the fs anyway? Is this a ufs fs?

I think this happened to me once with a ufs fs and I was able to mount the fs anyway. Since I could mount the fs, then fsck is in error in suggesting the clean flag is wrong. fsck needs one routine to check the clean flag and a second routine to write the clean flag. If the first routine is buggy, fsck would loop like that. It forever thinks the clean flag is wrong and forever sets the clean flag correctly. I was pretty sure that was happening to me so I just ignored the situation.

clri

CLRI(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   CLRI(8)

NAME

     clri -- clear an inode

SYNOPSIS

     clri special_device inode_number ...

DESCRIPTION

     Clri is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by fsck(8).

     Clri zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s) on the filesystem residing on the given special_device.  The fsck(8) utility is
     usually run after clri to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the blocks previously claimed by those inode(s).  Both read and write permission
     are required on the specified special_device.

     The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which for some reason is not being properly handled by fsck(8).  Once removed, it is
     anticipated that fsck(8) will be able to clean up the resulting mess.

SEE ALSO

     fsck(8), fsdb(8), icheck(8), ncheck(8)

BUGS

     If the file is open, the work of clri will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache.
