I am a sysadmin, fairly new to the job. I had a disk sd0s1e of 2GB size. In the process of finding out the device name of the tape drive I did a tar cvf rsd0 /tmp. The amount of data I have written over the raw disk is about 20K. This disk has /usr. I need to retrieve /usr, mainly my mails in /usr/home. How should I go about it? I retrieved sd1s1e, i.e. /var and got the /var/mail. I cannot mount or fsck this device since it complains, improper superblock. I have another machine with similar partitioning, would that help? -- --Gopu (gopu@global.com)
