I am a sysadmin, fairly new to the job. The OS is FreeBSD 2.2.2. I had a disk sd0s1e of 2GB and sd1s1e of 1GB. In the process of finding out the device name of the tape drive I did a "tar cvf rsd0 /tmp". The amount of data I have written over the raw disk is about 20K. This disk has /usr. I need to retrieve /usr, mainly my mails in /usr/home. How should I go about it? I retrieved sd1s1e, i.e. /var and got the /var/mail. I cannot mount or fsck this device since it complains, improper superblock. I have another machine with similar partitioning, would that help? How can I make an exact image of the ruined disk on another one of the same hardware configuration? Which is a good book to know the inside out of the FreeBSD 2.2.2 File system? -- --Gopu (gopu@global.com)
