Hey guys,

    I just ran newfs on two mounted drives by mistake (ad0 and ad1 instead of da0 and da1) and I can't use the data on the disks anymore.  The return of the df command shows that the space on those drives is taken up the same as before, but when I try to use it it says bad file descriptor.  I ran fsck and fsck -y on one of them but they didn't seem to do anything.  I also ran disklabel on the same one that I ran the fscks on and I cannot use the data still.  The one I used the fscks on I can cd into and I can see the directores that were originally in there, but I can't cd to them.  Is there any way in the world to fix this?  I really would love that data back.
