Ack! You can't change the size of the "e:" partition without newfs'ing
that partition. If you haven't written anything to the disk (lately),
the data should still be there, though. You may be able to restore the
old disklabel and fsck (unmount /dev/wd0e first, then):
disklabel -W wd1
disklabel -r -R wd1 /var/backups/disklabel.wd1.backup
disklabel -N wd1
fsck -f /dev/rwd1e
and so on.
