Scan_ffs can print the lost disklabel for use with disklabel(8). Find-sb, that version from cvs, seems only to print info about the superblocks of each file system and you have to rebuild the lost disklabel for your self. I was on the search for a simple tool for everybody, and found scan_ffs several months ago in the OpenBSD distribution (so it seems find-sb was like reinventing the wheel) and Robert Watson suggested in a posting december last year to adopt scan_ffs for UFS2. IMHO we should reuse a already written program with existing man pages, so we have the same sounding tools for the same tasks. I don't know what find-sb could do with your patches applied. If it's superior to scan_ffs, we can forget scan_ffs. -- /\/\ichael Ranner [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JAWA Management Software GmbH - http://www.jawa.at/ Liebenauer Hauptstrasse 2oo - A-8041 Graz Tel +43 316 403274 21 - Fax +43 316 403274 10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mariazell Online - http://www.mariazell.at/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GIT/CS/AT dx(-) s+:(++:) a- C++ UBLVS++++$ P++>+++$ L-(+)$ E--- W+++$ N+(++) o-- K- w--()$ O-(--) M@ V-(--) PS+>++ PE(-) Y+ PGP(-) t+ 5+ X+++(++++) R* tv++ b+(++) DI++ D-(--) G- e h--(*) r++ y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
