Hi,
Your post may be timely for me. How do you copy an alternate superblock
on a SCSI hard drive to replace the main superblock? Mine got
corrupted. I did this routine once before on an IDE drive and it worked
great. But on SCSI, I understand less of how the drive works, so I
don't know whether to use fsck or camcontrol or what.
Any pointers to info on the web or FreeBSD site would be helpful too. I
have read the manual material on SCSI drive related commands, but I am
very confused. My drives are later model SCSI-160 types, with an
Adaptec 29160 controller board. The drive is using UFS2 and UFS, as
this is an AMD64 box, and I have a FreeBSD 5.3beta 32bit partition in
there too. Cable is properly terminated and I'm using new low profile
round SCSI cables. I don't know what I did to cause this.
Thanks for anyone who can help. Sincerely, Rob
