Ah... glad I asked. > I think you should start by reading the manual pages for fsck and > fsck_ffs. I would start with 'fsck_ffs -fp /dev/yourdevicenode'. Okay, that makes sense, and is simpler than what I was planning. I have a long train ride, so I'm going to print out and read those man pages, and whatever I can find in the Handbook, and maybe there's some info in my Absolute FreeBSD book... > If this command quits with errors, you might try fsck_ffs without flags, > or 'fsck_ffs -y' to have it try and repair all damage that it finds. Excellent.
