For what it's worth, we (FreeBSD) have a simple SuperBlock recovery program in /usr/src/tools/tools/find-sb. I picked up some updates from Dave Cross for that, and have a few more of my own. I just have to sit down and get them all together into a single version. I don't know how find-sb compares to the program you're talking about, but they sound kind of similar. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
