If you have ever been working too long, +and just happened to type 'disklabel -rw da0 floppy', instead of 'diskla- +bel -rw fd0 floppy', you know what I am talking about. + +This little program will take a raw disk device (which you might have to +create) that covers the whole disk, and finds all probable UFS/FFS parti- +tions on the disk. It has various options to make it go faster, and to +print out information to help in the reconstruction of the disklabel. + +Ported from OpenBSD to FreeBSD 4/5 with support for UFS1 and UFS2. |
