I need help recovering a filesystem, or at least some data from it. I am using: 4.1-RELEASE Machine: Compaq Deskpro 590 (Pentium 90 MHz) RAM: 80 MB HD: Maxtor 71687 AP I suffered a power outage at home where I have two FreeBSD systems. One of them is fine. The other seems to have developed some issues: during boot, the autoboot didn't notice the unplanned reboot (odd) and so when it tries to boot into multi-user mode, it dies while mounting drives. fsck dies while in phase 2 (check pathnames) of a fsck on my /usr partition (ad0s1f), and the machine locks up tighter than fort knox. I am not that familiar with fsck, so have not used any command line options for fear of damaging the fs further. I have fsck'ed the other partitions on this drive without issue, although a number of errors were found in the /var partition. Can someone please refer me to a specific resource or give me some idea of how I might proceed to recover some of the data if I cannot repair this fs? I have look at : Man pages and The Complete FreeBSD (old version, for FBSD 2.2.0)... the FreeBSD website seems to be down (or at least portions of it are) so I am encountering a little difficulty finding resources... thanks --Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
