I have recently had a problem with the disklabel on a drive in one of my servers. I had just installed an additional hard drive and was running a backup when the system halted due to a kernel fault (caused by dead RAM, as I later found out) and fsck managed to clobber my disklabel. The drive had about 40 gigs of data on it that would be nice to have back. I've tried gpart and numerous other open source and commercial packages, though none are able to read the partition or disklabel information. After running a hex dump on the drive, I was pleased to find the data still intact, even though the drive is a bit confused. Any suggestions would be welcome. Erich M.
