partition magic 7, dosfstools, scandisk couldn't do anything useful. The directories are trashed, scandisk wanted to make a 25 gig folder into a file000.chk ;) I guess its safe to say don't mount fat32 partitions in OpenBSD, that's when the problems started. Last time I had a partition screwed up this bad, I used Hard Drive Mechanic, which fails to launch on my machine.
I do have a log rotation program, the problem is I accumulated nearly a gig of logs between 5 and 6 AM during my cron jobs due to this fscked up partition. I remember I used to see 'last message repeated 5 times' type things in logs, but that may have been one of my openbsd boxes.
