This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_00AE_01C120E5.9F779B20 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable About a week ago I had some memory go bad causing my box to reboot about 15 times in a two hour period. Since, I have replaced the memory, but when attempting to boot, I get the old "please run fsck manually". No Problem, the root file system was cleaned up with no problems. But when fsck attempted to correct /var and /usr, no luck. fsck returns a=20 "incorrect super block, bad magic number" error. The only documentation I've been ible to find was on docs.freebsd.org, = stating that 'fsck -b 32 /filesystem' should do the trick when this error = occurs. But this returns >fsck -b 32 /dev/ad1s2 Alternate super block location: 32 ** /dev/ad1s2 CANNOT READ: BLK 32 CONTINUE? [yn] If I continue, I get=20 THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 32, 33, 34 (up to 47) Any Ideas what I might be able to do to salvage the data from these = partitions? FreeBSD 4.3 R by the way -Brandt ------=_NextPart_000_00AE_01C120E5.9F779B20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>About a week ago I had some memory go = bad causing=20 my box to reboot</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>about 15 times in a two hour = period.
