[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi. I've got a small GEOM_BDE setup at my computer. I used gbde to encrypt ad4s1e and stored its lock file under /etc/gbde/ad4s1e.lock. Accidently I deleted this file via a cronjob. I know that the lock file only stores the lock sector position on the disk. I've still got my password. I've read a bit through src/sbin/geom, but I don't think that I'm skilled enough to write a hack that will try every sector with my password and call fsck to check for a valid ufs filesystem. I'm watching this list for quite some time now and I know that there are some people out there how could help me with this little brute force problem in a few minutes by putting together a small hack/patch. And yes: Of course there was a backup of the lock file. But guess where... I'd be very grateful if somebody could help me mounting this filesystem one more time. :-) Cheers, Sebastian -- VI VI VI - The editor of the beast. - perlhacker.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmdxzcACgkQUCsAQC4AUriAWQCfW/BSFSYoA+D6JjoWQJTyH8WT itQAoMYKKDl4iMApk1TQB8X5FsFhD+La =k0Ec -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
