That's life with the berkeley back-end. I recommend switching to
fsfs.

I love it when recover tells you to run recovery. When that
happens, i restored from backups. Before switching to fsfs, we
had a recoverable wedge about once a month, and one of these
non-recoverable wedges about once every other month. If
catastrophic recovery fails, i don't know that there is another
way to recover. I just restored from backups at that point.
