red, so may have been other data, but with a new label you might be able to recover it with 'fsck da0s1d' if the filesystem is more or less intact. It's always worth keeping a copy of the output of bsdlabel for every FreeBSD slice somewhere safe (like on paper!) for times such as these. cheers, Ian ___ 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"
