Hello, I had (have) a disk with encrypted data
# disklabel sd3 # /dev/rsd3c: type: SCSI disk: SCSI disk label: Samsung SSD 980 duid: 8cf4eb1722bfa480 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 121601 total sectors: 1953525168 boundstart: 0 boundend: 1953525168 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 1953525120 0 RAID c: 1953525168 0 unused I had this error # /sbin/bioctl -s -c C -l /dev/sd3a softraid0 softraid0: sd5 was not shutdown properly usually I do echo "mypassword" | /sbin/bioctl -s -c C -l /dev/sd3a softraid0 before mounting sd5c for example I used chatgpt to help me to find what could I do to solve the "softraid0: sd5 was not shutdown properly" and it told me this dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd3a bs=1m count=4 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd3a bs=1m seek=$((1953525168/2048 - 4)) count=4 I didn't take enough time to think and chatgpt told me no risk no risk, and after a few questions I did it. My error, I did not backup the bloc sectors before doing these commands If I type echo "mypassword" | /sbin/bioctl -s -c C -l /dev/sd3a softraid0 it works if I type echo "mywrongpassword" | /sbin/bioctl -s -c C -l /dev/sd3a softraid0 it says wrong password I would like to know if the situation is completely lost ?
