It's getting hard read errors, You may have an error in an important sector so fsck can't fix it. As an alternative to the dd or cp suggestions, I'd recommend dump: dump can handle unreadable sectors (though I'm not sure if FreeBSD's dump will tell you which file or inode the sectors belonged to). It's probably your best chance of getting the data off the disk. --=20 Peter Jeremy --IMjqdzrDRly81ofr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFGRWD/opHv/APuIcRAhBiAKC1XHicvp7W+rYqwfgK2KI0XVp9SwCfSL6m nz+siSUa872toyUvEgKPDi4= =G9Mv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --IMjqdzrDRly81ofr--
