2004-08-03 -+- heXa -+- hexa {at} v-level {dot} de -+- your so right! journaling-fs are the best invention ever.
im using ext3 or reiserfs and i love it when it says
"Recovering journal..."
from time to time it happens especially on my laptop...
little hint: # fdisk -l /dev/hda; fdisk -lu /dev/hda
and write down or print the numbers, you will need them if some nonLinux, nonFree OS erased your Partitions. Because there wont even help the best fsck.
i know what im talking about... lost my whole Gentoo System for one hour, then found my printout of this data and recovered it...

nice to read your article. Makes me a lot of hope to repair my System too.
Yesterday i tried to enlarge my Debian Partition (Kanotix BH7) with removing
my Suse 8.2. But Qtparted doesn`t work properly and so i lost the Suse Partition. Running qtparted again comes up with an Errorcode and couldn`t detect a Partition on this second drive anyway. Although my Debian System is booting and running properly I can´t use the lost Space.
So i will try to repair my second drive with reiserfsck. Hope that will
work. :-) -+- 62.134.61.22 = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0; T312461) #2005-04-21 -+- nachopro -+- nachopro@mpediciones.com -+- Hola, estoy en graves problemas y quizás uds me puedan ayudar.

Mi disco, con ext3fs, sufrió un desperfecto: se apagó y arruinó la unidad lógica. Estuve probando con algunos programitas como el TestDisk, pero sólo recupera la SWAP, ya que soporta ext2 y no ext3 .

Conocen algún programa o método que regenere la ext3fs?. Ya que tengo mucha información personal y no me gustaría perderla.. aunque de momento lo esté

Muchas gracias. Saludos. -+- 24.232.250.85 = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) 2005-09-28 -+- Leon -+- leobro A_T utu D_O_T fi -+- It was fun to read your story after having gone through the same experience myself today (of course, always afterwards ;-)

While setting up suspend-to-disk (swsusp2) 'something' went wrong with my root partition and I was unable to boot at all. Using Knoppix live cd I restored lilo to the MBR first (which allowed booting) and then took a d-e-e-p breath, a cup of coffee, and let reiserfsck do its thing... I expected huge amount of data loss (reading all the mishaps detected by reiserfsck) but so far, "D-Day+93 min", everything seems ok.

I never gave it much thought, but I agree, JFs rule!

Cheers, Leon. -+- 130.232.51.147 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
