Re: FW: help please? corrupted hard disc - invalid super block.

hi, thanks for the help! Mounting /dev/ad5e worked (at least in read-only, it wants a fsck) so rather than try a repair, and risk blowing it up, (and I'm on 4.8, which still has disklabel nor bsdlabel) I'll copy everything off and re-initialise the disc in due course. Thanks! Rob. At 15:53

It looks like you wrote the disklabel for the slice to the disk or vice-versa. If you check /dev there probably isn't a /dev/ad5s* there. Try mounting /dev/ad5e instead of /dev/ad5s1e. To verify, do a bsdlabel ad5s1 to see if you have a disklabel for the slice. Otherwise you could : 1.backup
