FreeBSD XXXXXX 8.0-RC2 FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 #0: Sun Oct 25 08:55:51 UTC 2009     root@...:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
This happens after reboot. All the labels on the external USB 450GB HDD, which is gjournaled, are erased.  This drive I know works fine and am pretty sure it's a software issue.  I thought this was a fluke, but I'm reporting this bug after it happened for the 2nd time.  I've been able to recover the data by relabeling the disk w/ the same sizes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot
>Fix:
If you know the exact label sizes, just renter and untoggle newfs.

I recently had a partition table wiped out on a non-boot disk, an 8 GB  
flash drive on a SATA port. I don't know that I can reproduce it, but  
if there are more similar reports it might be worth looking in the  
disk subsystem rather than USB.
