Sorry, I has thought it was not possible to recover data, I've been trying to remake a hammer FS on the disk with the same name and try to recover it. Of course, it didn't work, but I had to try. Finally it was a bad idea...
If you really want a disk image, I could try to reproduce this on a smaller disk (actually it was a 500 Gb disk). It'd be great if we could recover a hammer FS which has its volume header corrupted/overwrited. 2011/2/21 Matthew Dillon <dil...@apollo.backplane.com>: > > : > :Thanks for your reply. > : > :I don't remember if I installed it on a disklabel or a slice.
