$FreeBSD$ find-sb is a program which scans the input file you specify (normally a raw disk slice) for filesystems. It's not very smart, nor particularly efficient. All it does is read the input file one device block at a time, and when it reads a block that has a UFS superblock magic number in the right place, it tells you about it. It helped me find an important partition after the disklabel got somehow trashed. It might not work for you. After looking carefully at the output of this program and creating a new disklabel, you should use `fsck -n' or a tool like ffsinfo(8) to verify that there is in fact something vaguely sane located at that spot on the disk. (There are checks that fsck can do to verify the validity of the superblock which this program does not even attempt.) If you use this program and as a result trash what was left of your disk, well, too bad. You should have kept a backup anyway. If you read the source code and don't immediately understand how it works and what it's doing, then DON'T USE IT.
