Greetings and first question

["Samuel Partida" <samuel.partida%gmail.com@localhost>]

First of all I would like to greet all the people in the list, I've
been reading and working with NetBSD from some months after trying
other *nix tastes.

Now here comes my first problem:

We have a little box with NetBSD which was installed by an ex-admin in
my company. The worst thing is that the machine has a CCD configured
with some files which need to be salvaged.

The CCD is composed of two 500Gb SATA disks, the disklabels from both
disks are lost and the disklabel from the CCD disk is lost too.

I've tried from de /var/backups disklabels but doesn't work (when
tried to mount it says incorrect superblock :( ).
I've tried scan_ffs -l but the info it gives doesn't work neither.

I'm afraid to force a fsck_ffs because i've read it can corrupt the
data definitively.

Is there any way to get my CCD device working again? Should I still
playing with disklabels?

These are the disklabel output:

More info is that the label says "total sectors: 1953546304" but the
kernel spits a warning:

WARNING: ccd0: total sector size in disklabel (1953546304) != the size
of ccd (1953546336)

I've tried to change the labal info with the size of ccd but doesn't work.

Any help?

Thanks a lot.
