I had no choice but to reboot but I cannot mount my vinum volume. The message is that the volume cannot be mounted because the filesystem is not marked clean. However, fsck fails because the filesystem is not recognized as a unix file system. Is there any way to recover this volume? Here are details of my setup: FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE, as of about June 20, 1999. I have /, /var, and /usr on a 400MB slice of a 1.6GB IDE drive so I can boot the base OS. I have a vinum partition consisting of the remainder of the IDE disk and a 4GB SCSI disk. This is where I have /usr/local, /usr/home, and /usr/X11R6. This setup has worked great for the past several months and has gotten through several 'make worlds'. As of now I am not sure what caused the errors, there were no power problems at the time. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Glenn Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
