Thomas, thank you for reply! No, it wasn't dangerously dedicated disk. However, what is the exact command to add ad4s1 and ad4s3 using bsdlabel? Is it possible at all? I thought I should use fdisk or gpart for that. Thanks, Sergi M ___

Thomas, thank you very much for your mail, but that isn't what I asked. Of course, I know that bsdlabel -R ad0s1 new_label_file writes new labels to ad0s1. My question is: what to do if I _lost_ s1, s2, and s3 - how to recover _them_ first? Without that, all I can do is to write labels table
