well few days ago I noticed kernel core on one of my systems, .. FreeBSD went into a loop trying to dump the swap however it never managed, so i figured disabing the dump would work, so i got an bootable usb stick and disabled the flag from rc.conf, only to find out it still wanted to dump the swap, so i figured if i zero'd the swap file it would solve the problem because there wouldn't be any data left to dump. This was my mistake i performed dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4s1b bs=1M on the swap partition, .. only to conclude later that all my data was gone, ..
I was wondering if it is possible in any way to recover this data, because when i fdisk i can still see slices but they have no shape/size, ..
Would dumping the disk, allow me to use a file to work from, so i can already reinstall the system and collect the data later on, if it would be possible at all to recover this data?
Regards, ..
