shorter than its size resulting in a hole as its final block (which is a violation of the invarients of the UFS filesystem). Soft updates will always ensure that the file size is correct when writing inodes to disk for files that contain only direct block pointers. However soft updates does not roll back sizes for files with indirect blocks that it has set to unallocated because their contents have not yet been written to disk. Hence, the file can appear to have a hole at its end because the block pointer has been rolled back to zero when its inode was written to disk. Thus, fsck_ffs calculates the last allocated block in the file. For files that extend into indirect blocks, fsck_ffs checks for a size past the last allocated block of the file and if that is found, shortens the file to reference the last allocated block thus avoiding having it reference a hole at its end.
