Wong) Date: Fri, 28 Jan 1994 11:10:17 GMT Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia Lines: 25 Hi, Sorry about the repost, my last post got corrupted. I ran into some problems attempting to mount an old partition of my old filesystem backup on /dev/wd0f. What happened was that, my sd0 ran into some power problem, and that force me to backup some filesys onto wd0f, and get a new sd0 (replacement 8-)). However, after I re-installed FreeBSD-1.0.2 and attempt to mount /dev/wd0f on /mnt3, and did a fsck -y to let it run while I was busy with other things, I didn't expect that actually caused me a whole lot of problems. WHen I came back to the computer and cd into /mnt3 I only saw lost+found directory! I was shocked, and I knew I did something stupid! All my backup are gone, I only left with some few files in lost+found directory. My question is, is it possible to recover those files from the lost+found directory ? I know the exact full path where the files belong. Many thanks in advance and email replies please. - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C Wong) -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au
