    if you are capturing the fstab, i'd suggest getting a complete partition map
    of all disks so that you know the logical location of file systems.

    this may become complicated with complex disk solutions (vinum || similar) but
    worth while for analysis - recovery of data.

    i'm not familiar with the tools but i guess they may already do this ? ? ?
