SUMMARY: prtvtoc | fmthard -s - in wrong direction, any fix?

An identical system was discovered and the 'prtvtoc' output was used
from that system to initialize the disk via 'fmthard'. Once that was
completed the remainder of the work was a straightforward SDS disk
replacement.







Sunmanagers,



One of our admins was replacing a disk and performed the following
command backwards.



prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2



this should have been:



prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2



I am currently searching to find out the previous slice boundaries for
the 'good' disk. At this point running (while booted to the net in
single user) fstyp /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 returns 'unknown_fstype'.



Any suggestions on recovery methods aside from re-installing? At this
time I do not know if I can recover the previous slice table or not.
