Well, there's "gone" and there's really "gone" (but obviously, this is not a pleasant situation in any case). Just as a quick reminder for anyone who might not know (as this happens regularly) - sysutils/testdisk should be able to recover those cleared partitions pretty easily and put them back in place. m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account) _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
