Hi Managers,

Another question to salvage. On another machine someone installed a
new system over old data. I remembered the old disklabel (thanks to
UniCensus) and it seemed, that old data partition and the new /usr
partition do not overlap very much.

I restored the old label, mounting the advfs failed.
/sbin/advfs/verify ends in a lot of error messages

Where do I find this famous AdvFS Guide to File System Administration?

The rescue with salvage ends up in an error messages
salvage: Can't convert page to lbn
a running salvage (eating 99% of cpu time) and no result after 70000 CPU
seconds.

What's on?
