My freebsd 4.11 system has been subjected to a power failure and seems
to have many disk errors something about soft updates and not being able
to read certain sectors it comes up with the standard single user pick
your shell command and tells me to run fsck manually. I have run it
several times but the system keeps comming with ad0s4 marked dirty which
is my /usr partition. Sometimes i get a resetting device ata0 timeout
error. What should i do of course i have no current backups for this
system and the most important thing is retrieving my users data it would
be great if i could get the system to boot up but if i have to reinstall
no biggy as long as i can get most of my data back.
ps i promise to do remote backups nightly for the rest of my life.
