The partition table seams o.k. but the disklabel is lost. I move the disk to another FreeBSD system and have been able to mount its root partition with mount /dev/ad2s1a /mnt/ad2s1a The fstab file in the /etc directory of the damage disk is: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1e /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 From the mbox at the /root directory of the damage disk a got the following: Disk status: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 49583 28226 17391 62% / /dev/ad0s1e 5842520 4071545 1303574 76% /usr procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc From this I know there are only three partitions (root, /usr and swap) and the size of the UFS partitions. But to rebuild the disklabel still I don't know the size of the swap partition and thus can't figure out where does the /usr partition starts. Can anyone help me with this? Does anyone knows if gpart can be use to figure out the disklabel and how? (So far with gpart I have only been able to print the slicetable, not the disklabel.) --- Oscar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
