This might sound rude or stupid to you, I'm sorry, but that's not debatable.. It sure does sound like a hobby for a while! Can't I just need to somehow fix the 1st 74M, and then somehow magically the FFS sd3i magically is alive again, mountable and ridable? (get the double-meaning? xD) I'm wondering how filesystems and how FFS2 works, and if maybe the 74M can be somewhat easily fixable, like do filesystems keep an index of files and I overwrote 74M of that index, or something like that? P.S. I just tried backing up sd3i (non-raw device), and it says "Device busy", so I guess nothing from that..
