Ouch! It wasn't just a partition problem where they were overlapping
or something like that? I've seen that happen before, where you
write to one of the partitions and you're scrubbing all over one
of the other ones in the process.
If that 9GB SCSI drive is still around, the vast majority of the
web site is static. 99% of all the web pages on the site are
mailing lists, and only a small fraction of those web archives have
changed since the drive swap (i.e. the current month/quarter/year
archives). All of the other archives could be copied back from the
SCSI drive on top of whatever's there now.
