It was really really late one night and I was pretty tired, and I inadvertently attempted to mount a UFS slice as EXT2 with an ubuntu livecd. Needless to say it didn't work very well, and the mount operation more or less hung.
Despite the fact that I specified -r in the mount command, the drive gives click of death noises at boot now. I've been hesitant to try any troubleshooting before I get some advice on how to proceed. If at all possible I would very much like to recover as much of the files as I can. Step 1 will be installing FreeBSD on the machine in question on a different drive (server rebuild, no os on it currently, hence the live cd.) But the problem drive itself... (seagate 120gb eide)
I'm kicking myself for this stupid mistake. =( Anyway, any ideas?
