Hello! I have started to add UFS2 support to Robert Watsons scan_ffs(8) port from OpenBSD. Now it can recover properly the disklabel for partitions with UFS1 and UFS2 filesystems. Scan_ffs has some advantages over find-sb from /usr/src/tools, and it could fit nice in the FreeBSD base system to recover lost disklabels (ex. disklabel -rw ad0s1 floppy).
The output of "scan_ffs -sl /dev/ad0s1", the original label was a: 524288 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 # (Cyl. 0 - 32*) b: 2097152 524288 swap # (Cyl. 32*- 163*) c: 20964825 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1304) d: 2097152 2621440 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28512 # (Cyl. 163*- 293*) e: 1048576 4718592 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8 # (Cyl. 293*- 358*) f: 7372800 5767168 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28512 # (Cyl. 358*- 817*) g: 7824857 13139968 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28512 # (Cyl. 817*- 1304*) should look like: X: 524288 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 X: 2097152 2621440 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 X: 1048576 4718592 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 X: 7372800 5767168 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 X: 7824857 13139968 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 So you simple have to replace X with the slice and to run "disklabel -R ad0s1" and after this you can mount the filesystems. Makefile, source and modified man pages are attached to this mail. Give it a try and let me know your opinion.
