Dunno about current versions, but IIRC some earlier versions of dump(8) could handle even a badly-corrupted FS. No harm in trying, since it will not try to write anything to the FS being dumped. Of course, you need to find a place to dump it to (and I would _not_ advise piping the output into restore(8) in this kind of situation -- save the dumpfile itself somewhere in case you find yourself needing to hack on restore(8) to extract files from it). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
