thank you for the response ocicat. your question #2 may have answered my question.
Quote:
* Was the reboot done while the transfer was still taking place?

no
Quote:
* Were both drives fully umount(8)'ed at the time of the reboot?

i did not manually unmount them, assuming that that all disks were unmounted at shutdown. is this not the case?
Quote:
* Is the drive not mount(8)'ing correctly now the target drive from the previous transfer?

the unmountable disk was the
source disk.
so, if my above assumption has been a gross error, is there a way to salvage the data on the disk?
