Hmmm, Ok, I can see that. The errors are confined to one slice on the
disk (ad1s2e) the other slice fsck'd fine. so I should be able to
recover that data using a FreeSBIE cd and writing to a new drive. The
damaged partition I can *hopefully* recover using dd_recover. Once I do
that I'll try the drive in another computer and see if the problem's
still there.
we'll see.....
The power surge may have damaged your power supply.

After a power outage last night I rebooted my

complained of the following :
ad1s2e: hard error reading fsbn 5103776 (ad1s2 bn

177 sn 20) status=59 error=40
Then goes on for a while giving the same error on
blocks 5103776 -
5103807, except for block 5103777 which has
error=01.
Does this mean the disk is failing, or can I just
reformat? And what's
the best way to recover any recoverable data from
that slice?
Unfortunately I don't have a recent backup, since my
tape drive joined
the choir invisible a while ago and I haven't had a
chance to replace it.
