hi all,
i'm running 4.3 on partition ad0s3. i tried to install 4.6.2 on ad3s2 and
when i booted back up on ad0s3 i lost my vinum partition which lives in
ad3s4a ( i did not note down the error message :( so don't ask :) ). i did a
' dd if=/dev/ad3s4a | od -c ' and it looked as though my vinum config was
still there. so i reran my vinum create script and recreated all my volumes
and i got back all my filesystems :)
is there a one liner i can use to recover vinum under these circumstances ?
or should i just keep a copy of the first nnn blocks of the vinum partition
somewhere else as a backup ? or can you generate a vinum create script from
your existing configuration ?
thanx,
siegfried.
