An error during some build experiments made disklabel run against the wrong disk, overwriting just the label before quitting. Have anybody got any good starters for how to recover the information on where the FS on that disk is located? I'm presently just running fsck -n -b <all numbers> against the disk, looking for alternate superblocks with good checksums. This has also uncovered at least one bug in fsck (it gives a bus error when scanning the bogus 'file system' described by one of those superblocks), so it is probably an exercise I should do more regularly...
