    Hi Everyone,

    I have a question in regards to file recovery... two days ago a
    directory on one of my 4 IDE discs dissappered. it was not business data
    or anything hugely precious, but it would be nice to get it back.

    The drive & file system is perfectly fine, no errors.
    I have 4 IDE HD's [non RAID]

    Virtual Memory Virtual Memory (swap) /dev/ad0s1b Yes Yes
    / FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1a Yes Yes
    /tmp FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1e Yes Yes
    /usr FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1f Yes Yes
    /usr1 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad1s1d Yes Yes
    /usr2 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad2s1d Yes Yes
    /usr3 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad3s1d Yes Yes
    /var FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad0s1d Yes Yes
    /cdrom ISO9660 CD-ROM (cd9660) /dev/acd0 No Yes
    /dev DEVFS devfs Yes No

    It's a 2nd level directory on "/usr1", "/usr1/AudioDrive/spoken" that
    went walkabout.

    I had a quick peek at 'foremost', got it installed, but have had no luck
    with the config side of things. the files were almost all MP3 format,
    and from what i understand they dont have much in the way of headers.
    nothing has been written to that drive since.
