OK, I can see how that would work. I don't really have a spare
computer/drive to muck around with though, at least not easily. If I can
work directly on the disk image that would be much better.
Could I fix the bsdlabel on the disk.img and mount it with mdconfig?
I noticed scan_ffs can output a bsdlabel config file. Something like:
# scan_ffs -sl disk.img > disk.label
# bsdlabel -w -f disk.img auto # write a fresh default label
# bsdlabel -e -f disk.img # and load in scan_ffs output
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f disk.img -u 0
If that looks like it might work, should I fsck the disk image before or
after mounting with mdconfig or not at all? Do I risk kernel panic without
fsck?
Thanks,
Skye
