Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My 4.2-release system suddenly crashed with bad blocks on the ATA drive.... Fsck simply indicates it can't read 3 blocks - but, as I understand it - bad block mapping is now "gone"... (the assumption being that any reasonable ATA/IDE drive isn't going to have this problem.) So - I'd like to at least get the file system mounted so I can recover what is recoverable... but, fsck will never succeed to mark the file mountable... (I could simply force the mount, but that would likely result in a crash again... stifling my recovery efforts.) If anyone has pointers to how to go about this - I'd appreciate it! - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe (370) `C' compiler at http://www.dignus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
