Once I mounted a large dos partition to copy some files there and on boot the bsd / had vanished [!]. I had to reinstall / but I am still curious why it was the / filesystem that got corrupted and not the dos partition.... (Now I have / in its own slice and differrent partitions for /usr /var etc. so In Case Shi* happens I will not have to reinstall everything.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
