The drive & file system is perfectly fine, no errors. I have 4 IDE HD's [non RAID] Virtual Memory Virtual Memory (swap) /dev/ad0s1b Yes Yes / FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1a Yes Yes /tmp FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1e Yes Yes /usr FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1f Yes Yes /usr1 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad1s1d Yes Yes /usr2 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad2s1d Yes Yes /usr3 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad3s1d Yes Yes /var FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1d Yes Yes /cdrom ISO9660 CD-ROM (cd9660) /dev/acd0 No Yes /dev DEVFS devfs Yes No It's a 2nd level directory on "/usr1", "/usr1/AudioDrive/spoken" that went walkabout. I had a quick peek at 'foremost', got it installed, but have had no luck with the config side of things. the files were almost all MP3 format, and from what i understand they dont have much in the way of headers. nothing has been written to that drive since. /anthony
