What a grrrreat weekend I'm having >:'L ugh! Evidently one of the "spare disks" we had laying around that I had thought would suit me for my needs for additional disk space must have majorly malfunctioned: what was my system disk went south on me. I nabbed another disk (brand new this time, it had been allocated for another project but I need to get this machine back to life...), installed 2.2-970816. Now I have my old dead disk in an enclosure. When I try to fsck it, I get this crap: Aug 18 04:34:58 scorn /kernel: , retries:2 Aug 18 04:34:59 scorn /kernel: sd3(ahc0:3:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:0x50033 csi:1,79,7,3b asc:16,0 Data s ynchronization mark error field replaceable unit: 15 Aug 18 04:34:59 scorn /kernel: , retries:1 Aug 18 04:34:59 scorn /kernel: sd3(ahc0:3:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:0x50033 csi:1,79,7,3b asc:16,0 Data s ynchronization mark error field replaceable unit: 15 Aug 18 04:34:59 scorn /kernel: , FAILURE Aug 18 04:34:59 scorn /kernel: pid 162 (fsck), uid 0: exited on signal 8 (core dumped) Everything was fine until I stuck that damn other disk...arg. Anyway, either of the partitions, if I try to access them, I'm SOL. However, I can see the disklabel fine. See: # disklabel sd3 # /dev/rsd3c: type: SCSI disk: sd0s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 1012 sectors/unit: 2074592 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 65536 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 31) b: 262144 65536 swap # (Cyl. 32 - 159) c: 2074592 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1012*) e: 1746912 327680 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 160 - 1012*) So is all hope lost for this disk? To rub my face in it, the back up of this system was incomplete and munged. Any suggestions for reviving this poor beast would be most appreciated!
