    Here's a bit of a silly question:

    I now have a drive that Sun's format claims is of unknown type, and that it also
    claims is unformatted.

    HOWEVER -

    If I ask it to show me the partition table, this is what it returns:

    slice tag cyls My comment
    0 root 0-146
    1 usr 147-731 Should actually be /usr
    3 var 732-1024
    4 swap 1025-1317
    5 unassigned 1318-2778 should be /opt
    6 usr 2779-3462 /usr/openwin
    7 usr 3463-4923 /usr/local

    Is there something I could do to restore the drive to "formatted" status without
    destroying the existing data? Or otherwise make the partitions mountable? I'd
    like to retrieve a few files off the disk, if possible, before it makes its way
    to the trash.
