Nothing like that - I used a CD burner on another machine, and then ftp'ed the image to my home dir in case I needed more copies. After a few days, I decided that I didn't need it after all, and deleted it... or did I? The question is how badly did I screw things up by running fsck? It still reports pcayk:/etc# fsck -p -f /dev/wd0s1f /dev/rwd0s1f: FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED) /dev/rwd0s1f: SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD (SALVAGED) /dev/rwd0s1f: BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS (SALVAGED) /dev/rwd0s1f: 176225 files, 6278980 used, 1342864 free (39576 frags, 162911 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation) (I think with -p it doesn't actually salvage anything, just checks the disk).
