Is there a set of bytes at some offset in a block that is common to any instance of a BSD ufs filesystem? I ask because recently my home machine erased it's fdisk block _and_ the bsdlabel with it. It certainly didn't have time to erase the whole disk, but I'm having trouble guessing where the partitions are.
/usr/ports/sysutils/gpart will look for partitions on a disk ... but it only knows to look for bsd disklabels ... not bsd filesystems. Ideally, I'd like to make a bsd filesystem module for gpart with some pointers from the group.
