(both drives are UFS, partitioned under FreeBSD) i just finished reinstalling FreeBSD, but trying to mount the second drive, that wasn't damaged, produces the error "incorrect super block". i checked the label editor and the slices still exist, however the corrosponding devices in /dev (should be ad5s1b and ad5s1e) don't. how can i create the appropriate device so i can once again mount this drive without jepordizing it's contents? (or any other solution that would work here) thanks in advance. peace, brian t h e S a d M a c h i n e . n e t To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
