corrupt disklabel, how to restore?
I did what you shouldn't do. I have two disks one 80gb and one 100gb I was not happy with FreeBSD 5.2.1 so I downgraded to 4.10. Problem is the disklabel on my second drive somehow got corrupt, on this drive i backed up all home/* folders etc and so on, but now I can't get to my backup. I really need a way to restore the disklabel. I have tried scan_ffs with no result is there any other way, The disk was mounted as ad1s1d one large slice.

Re: corrupt disklabel, how to restore?
It's partitioned and mounted from sysinstall in 5.2.1 And the machine rins 5.2.1 again :( So, I guess I could: use fdisk and/or disklabel from within sysinstall again. But how do I prevent sysinstall from making 'newfs' ? Thanks & Regards D-tail Subhro wrote: If you have partitioned your disk as UFS2, then there is no way in which you can access them running 4.10.

Re: corrupt disklabel, how to restore?
Does : UFS2+S N in "freebsd disklabel editor" mean that no newfs will be created i.e that only the disklabel will be written and the acyual filesystem be left alone? as opposed to UFS+S Y ? d-tail (I'm a bit worried :| ) Subhro wrote: There is a key for toggling new filesystem.

Re: corrupt disklabel, how to restore?
Ok, thanks I managed to rescue my disk from /usr/sbin/sysinstall Freebsd Disklabel Editor in combination with fdisk. It automatically fsck'd my filesystem in write of disklabel... Thanks :) -d Subhro wrote: Y means a new file system would be created Regards S.

ext3 copy kernel freeze
Hey I just found an old linux hard drive with some movies on. This is formated as ext3. I can mount this with mount_ext2fs command. But if I try to cp the movies over to my normal freebsd disk the kernel just freezes up. I checked all the log files but nothing is logged. Further the disk I want to copy from and the disk I want to copy to are left in an inconsistent state and need to be fsck before I can reuse them again. It seams like an error in the ext2fs. Could this have to do with the journaling? Is this a know error?
