DES suggested "You probably switched your disk from CHS to LBA mode or vice versa" in this message: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi? fetch=1815326+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-current/20031109. freebsd-current which it is not the case. Now, leaving apart that my lest backup dated a month ago, and it's really stupid to lost all your data from a HDD without suffering any hardware or software crash, I would really apreciate some ideas, links whatever about what it is to do to avoid this to happend if the future. Mannyt thanks, IOnut
