A few weeks ago I had a problem with a missing partition table and disklabel. Niall Smart forwarded me a small C program for scanning a drive for superblocks and rewriting a disklabel table. I'd like to do some work on integrating this into FreeBSD because it seems too useful to leave out. At the very least it could be a stand along tool that works on UFS slices, that'd be easy. What I'm wondering though is whether it should be an extension to the disklabel program. If so, what extra work is required to make it work with non UFS file systems - is 'disklabel' used on non UFS fs's? Joe -- Josef Karthauser FreeBSD: How many times have you booted today?
