Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG ---------------------- Forwarded by Oliver Wilcock/Emp/PolarSym on 10/20/98 12:21 PM --------------------------- To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How can I un-newfs? Is there a way to reverse the newfs process. I know the data I need must still be on the slice because the newfs was so much faster than the fsck. It couldn't have wiped my /usr partition completely clean in a few seconds, could it? I'm pretty desparate. I have no backup since May. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
