Today I am re-installing FreeBSD ( mmm, goody ). Seriously, this is a bit scary. Fortuneately it was a new installation. Or should I have been able to recover /usr and the rest using the fsck in the # shell which came up after rebooting. NB. During the mounting process there were warnings about ' not an exact multiple of segmentsize ' for the DOS partition. During reboot got ' can't mount wd0s2g dirty fs ' or similar. Eventaually I cleaned the fs . Sadly libexec and all of /usr had vanished. Just clean disappeared, as they say. Please tell me that someone with admin experience would have been able to rescue everything. Otherwise some BIG warnings are needed. Yours re-installingly, Paul.
