Then I would copy the damaged slice to another filesystem. e. g.: # dd if=/dev/ad2s1 of=/root/shoot.img Then I would do a fsck e. g.: # fsck /dev/ad2s1a The fsck should make the file system usable again. BUT: FSCK IS QUITE RUDE POSSIBLY... Some filenames might be lost, so that there will be some files in /lost+found (as far as I understood that procedure). -Arne __________________________________ Yahoo!
