My woody ext2 totaly locked up, my win modem was dialing (I suspect the driver) while I did a search on kmail for an e-mail :( .. well I guess nothings perfect ...
I tried ctrl-alt-del ctrl-alt-f1,2,3 ... all dead. I had to power down and re-boot. On re-boot the system ran fsck which bommed out and told me to run fsck manually. I ran fsck -A, all ok it corrected loads, maybe 20 inodes then hit some ti did not seem to know what to to with. It has dumped these in the /lost+found directory. The contents of which is ... debian:/# cd lost+found/ debian:/lost+found# ls #212421 #212424 #212425 #212426 #212427 #212428 #98297 debian:/lost+found# ls -al total 40 srwxr-xr-x 1 test test 0 Jan 15 18:00 #212421 -rw------- 1 test test 168 Jan 15 18:00 #212424 -rw------- 1 test test 168 Jan 15 18:00 #212425 -rw------- 1 test test 168 Jan 15 18:00 #212426 -rw------- 1 test test 168 Jan 15 18:00 #212427 -rw------- 1 test test 168 Jan 15 18:00 #212428 srw------- 1 test root 0 Jan 15 18:01 #98297 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jan 2 17:46 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jan 2 18:22 .. debian:/lost+found# I also lost my kmail accounts which I have re-enterd. Are the above lost files ? If so how do I know what is what and how do I put them back ? Can anyone point me to documentation about what is an inode, web searches for info on inodes draws a blank. I would like to know more ? As always any help gratefully appreciated Dave PS The system appears to work AOK now, even with all that has happened.
