Long story short, I have a 4gig vn-backed filesystem. The file backing it is now missing the last 750megs ... I can vnconfig it, but when I fsck it I see: # fsck -y /dev/vn1 ** /dev/vn1 CANNOT READ: BLK 44109856 CONTINUE? yes THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 44109856, 44109857, 44109858, 44109859, ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device fsck: /dev/vn1: can't read disk label Is there anything at all I can do to get data out of this ? I know some of it (750 megs worth) is gone for good - but can I get any of the rest of it ? Presumably, when mounted, this was only 50% full ... thaks.
