Message-ID: <20020429115813.M95917-100000@lilly> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-fs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I had a 60 gig IDE hard drive that was full of business data overwritten when upgrading a system to fbsd 4.5 The newfs program was executed on the drive, and (i assume) that the file system table was overwritten. I do not think the drive was completely formatted, because the process took less than 30 seconds. Is there a way to reverse this process and get the old fs table back, or rebuild it..i really need the data. Any suggestions/comments would be well appreciated.
