Sven ok so no backup beforehand then... Have you tried moving the drive to a 4.11 system and mounting the partition from there, and then backing-up the data! Might be some way of forcing UFS1 over UFS2 on the mount command, but I don't see any mention of this in the man page (which still says 4.11 on the online version!) -- Martin On 6/21/06, Sven Hazejager <sven.hazejager@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all! > > I have quite a big problem here.... > > I've upgraded my FreeBSD 4.11 to 6.1.
