RE: HELP! Filesystem EMPTY after upgrade from 4.11 to 6.1
Hi Sven, How was the disk labeled originally? Is it possible that /usr/home did not reside on a dedicated slice and when you newfs'd /usr you wiped /usr/home ?

Filesystem EMPTY after upgrade from 4.11 to 6.1 Hi all! I have quite a big problem here I've upgraded my FreeBSD 4.11 to 6.1. Basically, I did a newfs of / and /usr and reinstalled from scratch. That worked. Rebooted in 6.1 single user mode, mounted /, /usr and /usr/home. The latter I did not touch and I need to save that partition. /usr/home had all the files it needed to have. PROBLEM: mount said soft-updates were not set on /usr/home. So I did umount /usr/home, tunefs -n enable /usr/home, mount /usr/home again... EMPTY What has gone wrong? I did fsck (in read-only), no problems, rebooted the system, did tunefs -n disable, still no luck. I really need those files guys... Please help urgently.

Many thanks, Sven Hazejager 4.11 uses UFS1, 6.1 UFS2, there might be some conflict there... Try using stellar phoenix BSD, it can recover data, before you start messing around and destroy stuff... It's not free, but there's a free trial... http://www.stellarinfo.com/download/download_form.php?sid=35 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sven ok so no backup beforehand then... Have you tried moving the drive to a 4.11 system and mounting the partition from there, and then backing-up the data! Might be some way of forcing UFS1 over UFS2 on the mount command, but I don't see any mention of this in the man page (which still says 4.11 on the online version!) -- Martin On 6/21/06, Sven Hazejager [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all!

I would guess that mount can tell the difference between ufs1 and ufs2. The man page for mount on my 6.0 system just shows mount -t ufs with no discrimination between the two.
