Hello all -- It took time in coming, but it came : the disk where /, /var and /usr were has died. Hopefully the three other connected disks are not affected. There is nothing very critical on the disk, and I have most of it backed up. So I'm just trying to learn something from this situation, for next time. Right now I'm in "Fixit mode" on the 2nd FreeBSD 4.7 CD, and I'm wondering what the next steps should be. Here is my late fstab : # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad4s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad4s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad5s1e /ad5 ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad6s1e /ad6 ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad7s1e /ad7 ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad4s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad4s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 I tried naively to 'mount /dev/ad4s1 /mnt', but got : not permitted. I also tried to handbook and google my way out of this paperbag, but that didn't work either :) I'm a newbie at this, so if you have advices, hints or URLs to deal with this somewhat emergency situation (loss of hard drive), I'll be grateful.
