Hi Sven, How was the disk labeled originally? Is it possible that /usr/home did not reside on a dedicated slice and when you newfs'd /usr you wiped /usr/home ?

Filesystem EMPTY after upgrade from 4.11 to 6.1 Hi all! I have quite a big problem here.... I've upgraded my FreeBSD 4.11 to 6.1. Basically, I did a newfs of / and /usr and reinstalled from scratch. That worked. Rebooted in 6.1 single user mode, mounted /, /usr and /usr/home. The latter I did not touch and I need to save that partition. /usr/home had all the files it needed to have. PROBLEM: mount said soft-updates were not set on /usr/home. So I did umount /usr/home, tunefs -n enable /usr/home, mount /usr/home again... EMPTY!!!! What has gone wrong? I did fsck (in read-only), no problems, rebooted the system, did tunefs -n disable, still no luck. I really need those files guys... Please help urgently.
