Hi, I was wondering if you could help me.
After searches on the internet turned up nothing, I found your site about
your love for OpenBSD..... My problem is that when I boot, I get an error
/dev/rwd0a BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN
FIRST ALTERNATE.
Then, on the same 13 gig drive, the error,"
/dev/rwd0a UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY"
. Later on, I also get an error from my other HardDRive which is a 200 gig
Seagate. This drive is also getting many errors. I did not realise it, but I
guess I had formatted it in NTFS. This HardDrive contains many files of
which are very important (3 years worth of files and a few thousand family
photos).
If the contents of the drive are really, really important to
you and you are willing to spend (lots of) money to retrieve
it, send it to Ibas. Don't do anything more, just shut down
the computer, disconnect the drives, and give them a call,
to them as best you can what has happened, and they will give
you directions as to what to do.
www.ibas.com is the place to visit now, or call their 24/7
international emergency hotline at +47 62 81 01 00.
Oh, and always keep a backup.
Cheers,
Christer
