I've gotten into a wierd situation where the best course seems to be wipe a (BSD) partition - without chnaging the size or location - and then restoring from backup. Based on the Handbook (sec. 12.3.2) the correct would seem to be: make backup cd / dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=1k count=1 newfs -O 2 -U /dev/da1e restore from backup Have I overlooked anything?
