Hi, Your post may be timely for me. How do you copy an alternate superblock on a SCSI hard drive to replace the main superblock? Mine got corrupted. I did this routine once before on an IDE drive and it worked great. But on SCSI, I understand less of how the drive works, so I don't know whether to use fsck or camcontrol or what. Any pointers to info on the web or FreeBSD site would be helpful too. I have read the manual material on SCSI drive related commands, but I am very confused. My drives are later model SCSI-160 types, with an Adaptec 29160 controller board. The drive is using UFS2 and UFS, as this is an AMD64 box, and I have a FreeBSD 5.3beta 32bit partition in there too. Cable is properly terminated and I'm using new low profile round SCSI cables. I don't know what I did to cause this. Thanks for anyone who can help. Sincerely, Rob
