Re: Fixit disk documentation
Excellent. So many people talk about writing good docs, but you've done it. The only quibble I have is that is seems more like a handbook topic than a FAQ entry. Especially as it grows. It could eventually be expanded to a fuller list of sources of general disk recovery information. > I'm not sure this is the right place to put the information, > but I couldn't see any better place." How about section 12 of the handbook. I think the best option would be to place a short bit in the FAQ and point to the handbook doc. The storage section seems an appropriate place given reiterating the need for good backups. Just my $.02 Tim P.S. A similiar entry summarizing the answers to "I just deleted all of... how do I get it back?" Seems very useful. I'm willing to write that this weekend if someone else is willing to mark it up.

A man of his word, no less! :-) I think this is very good indeed and would mean the newbie would flounder less. A cross-ref to a list of commands sorted by related function would be helpful, as would a list of those strange-but-useful commands like "truss". A problem I face is the sheer volume of commands. There is probably a command to do what you want "somewhere" but the only way you would find it is by asking a number of gurus (eg via this list).
