I am a sysadmin, fairly new to the job. I had a disk sd0s1e of 2GB size.
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?
