I also have data (queued email) I'd like to recover on /var, but it doesn't come up reliably. I think I'm going to take what I can get though at this point. I'll re-enter the approx. 1000 users, get mail running again, and then worry about trying to recover the spooled messages that some of these people have let sit all summer. Thanks to all who made suggestions. Doug Allen Doug Allen Allen System Consultants
