SU+J hard recovery failure
Hello folks, Yesterday I had a panic on my laptop. Unfortunately the SU+J was not able to recovery the file system, the error was something like : Unknown error: Help! Could not find directory 9854215 And it went to the single user mode, I needed to fsck_ufs manually to recover the disk. What afraid me is what if happens on a headless machine? It will be hard to recover.
