Hi Chris! Good guess! But when I recreated the "a" partition (as Ted Unangst suggested) I defined an offset of 63 so I bet that somehow the raw "c" disk was so corrupted that scan_ffs wasn't able to find any disklabel.
I used this incident to learn and try some disaster recovery techniques with OpenBSD. As I didn't lose any data and I learned about scan_ffs, I think it was worth. 2012/5/22 Chris Cappuccio <[email protected]> > I bet your 'a' partition was starting at 0 instead of 63 or 64 and thus > was overwriting the disklabel with something else. > > -- Joaquin Herrero, @joakinen perl -le '$_="=6<678428378>12376=2>:02;:19<5>:4"; tr[0->][DREAM.IT KOWSVC]; print'
