I deleted doug's reply to this, but he said there was almost no hope to recover the data myself. For the heck of it I just re-fdisk'd the disk and then mounted wd0s1 on /mnt everything seems to be there. (at least the root slice) but everything under /usr and /var only show the immediate directory structure. I guess this is because I mounted the compatibility slice?? How can I get the stuff under /usr? I would just re-label the drive, but will that destroy my data? I also can't remember exactly how many MB are in each slice, so that would be a problem too. If anyone knows how I can get this stuff it would be *very* appreciated. If not, I only lost a weeks worth of code :( Thanks! ------------------------------------ _____________________________________ Patrick Seal |"Microsoft isn't evil, they just make <patseal@hyperhost.net> | really crappy operating systems."
