Code:
ads1 wrong magic number 0x9386 expect ....
I have been using a FreeNAS box (based on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p7) for a year or more now, running 24/7 for about 2 years. I went on holiday for 2 months so turned it off while I was away. When I came back the inevitable happened: one of the drives failed when I powered it back up.
I have read that this is either something to do with a wrong or missing label in the volume TOC, and refomatting it will reinstate the correct label. But of course data will be lost.
This is not critical data (torrent files and downloaded data) so if I can't get it back then no big deal, but if I could it would make life easier.
I have tried remounting the mountpoint from within the FreeNAS console/terminal and also through the WebGUI, and have failed to mount it.
I have created a FreeBSD VMWare machine, taken another drive out of the FreeNAS machine, connected it to a IDE -USB adapter and mounted the working drive in the VMWare machine. This works, so I know my technique is OK.
When I do
ls /dev
the working drive partition shows as da0p1 but the drive I can't mount appears as da0s1.What is this 's' or 'p' difference? Is that relevant? They were both formatted as UFS from what I can remember.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Neil
