On powering up our FreeBSD 2.1.6 this morning we were greeted with a "hard error reading block such&such" message. This is a Dell machine with a built in IDE controller. After looking through the handbook and archives I haven't found much information about trying to recover files off a dying drive (it has the /usr directory, which of course has some files that are nowhere else!). Is there way I can look at or force a mount? Also I saw some reference to a full drive causing this type of error...could this be the cause of a hard error? Thanks John
