Please don't top-post and keep the conversation on the list.


It seems like you've tried to fsck only the slice (da0s1). You have to
fsck the partition itself:

# fsck /dev/da0s1d

The last letter should be the one you assigned when you labeled that drive.



Show us the output of:

# ls /dev/da0*


Regards,
Mikhail.
