After upgrade to 8.0 all disklabels (partitions) of one partition were lost. Fortunately I found a saved bsdlabel output file so I was able to recover the disklabels. This was 4 weeks ago and I that time I thought it was my fault. However - yesterday I began porting beagle (desktop search program) to freebsd and run it some hours. During that time it created heavy (reading) disk load because it began to index my home directory. After clean shutdown of the computer/filesystem yesterday afternoon the disklabels on the partition where my home directory is located were lost again this morning. After restoring the disklabels all worked as before and fsck did not find any inconsistencies within the partitions. I did a dd if=/dev/ad4s4.before of=ad4s4 count=200 before restoring the original disklabels. You can find this file at http://martinlaabs.de/tmp/ad4s4.before The corresponding restored file is available at http://martinlaabs.de/tmp/ad4s4.after The disklabel of the partition is su:~$ bsdlabel /dev/ad4s4 # /dev/ad4s4: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 683180190 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 104857600 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 e: 62914560 104857600 4.2BSD 0 0 0 f: 515408030 167772160 4.2BSD 0 0 0 Partitions ad4s4f, ad4s4e and ad4s4d are gbde encrypted. You can find a dmesg dump at http://martinlaabs.de/tmp/dmesg.txt Please remember also kern/138967 that occurred on the same system. There might be a relation between them. Greetings, Martin Laabs
