  We are running UNIX BSD 4.2 on a VAX 750, with 2 RA80 disks.
The files in two partitions on our second disk have disappeared
and the partion size is much smaller than it should be.
It looks like a new file system was accidently constructed
over the old ones by running /etc/newfs.
 
  Is there any possibility of recovering the files which were
orriginally on these partitions, or are they lost forever?
We have no backups of our system.

 Please send any suggestions to :
