Hi. Is there any way to recover a disklabel if you overwrote
it by mistake? Here's what happened.
FreeBSD 2.0R system. I was reconfiguring my second disk (sd1).
I did a "disklabel -w -r sd0 maxtor318" by mistake.
I noticed this when things starting giving me nasty errors and
blowing up because the "sd0" is not a maxtor318. :-(
Is there ANY way to recover the disk format (it was of course
not in disktab :-{) ?
Thanx for the help.
