Since I didn't get a response on -stable yet, I ask here again. I put my WD5000AACS in my Windows PC and did a SMART drive quick self-test with the WD utility (Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows) to check my drive because of the recently discussed Load/Reload Cycle problem. No data was written to the drive. I put it back to my FreeBSD box (8.0-Stable) and I I am not able to decrypt it anymore with geli. It keeps telling: # geli attach -k /etc/keys/keyfile /dev/ada0 geli: Cannot read metadata from /dev/ada0: Invalid argument. A geli backup command failed with: geli: MD5 hash mismatch: not a geli provider? I think Windows has messed up something on my disk, but a fdisk dump looks still the same as before: # fdisk /dev/ada0 ******* Working on device /dev/ada0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=969021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=969021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 976773105 (476939 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 316/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> Are there any things I could try or is all my data gone? Thanks in advance
