When everything was done and i plugged in the 2nd hdd that originally had 4.11-STABLE on it, i was unable to find the individual partitions/slices on there to mount so i could access all the old data i had. I have a basic understanding of FreeBSD but am still not quite proficent when it comes to this sort of thing. Fdisk only shows 1 partition so does disklabel. Below is the disklabel output of the drive im wanting to get all the data from... #ad1s1 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 234436482 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit e: 234436482 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 ================== # /dev/ad1s1c: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 234436482 63 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit e: 234436482 63 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 partition c: partition extends past end of unit disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition e: partition extends past end of unit ========== # /dev/ad1s1e: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 234436482 63 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit e: 234436482 63 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 partition c: partition extends past end of unit disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition e: partition extends past end of unit =============== Any help in recovering the copius amounts of data would be greatly appreciated. -- Yours Sincerely Shinjii http://www.shinji.nq.nu
