Hi,

a client of mine (I SWEAR it is not me) accidentally formated one of 
their HDs, and they shouldn't have :) Kind of a mixup, and they end up 
having no data. Is there some miraculous way of restoring the previous FAT ?

Thanks a million

D.Morel

probably not easily, the critical data for FAT filesystems were likely
clobbered by SB0 and the metadata associated with that AG (like thr
root inode, directory, etc).
