Hi there, hope you'll never put yourself in a situation similar to mine. "FreeBSD woozle.rinet.ru 2.2.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE" I had an IDE disk on my machine (Quantum FB 1080A, rather old). Some days ago i type "pine" and got message complaining about reading my mailbox. Moment look at the console got unrecoverable read error message. Digging into a problem i found directories /var/mail and /usr/home (yeah! :((() unreadable. System was 2.2.2-R. I install 2.2.5-R on a new disk and tried to dump old /usr (mount it readonly) to new disk. dump prints many error messages about non-readable disk areas but create dump file. However, restore claims that file isn't dump at all. Is there a reasonable way to get at least my home directory back? Please cc your answers to my email address. Thanx for your help.
