Cheers. I had already googled around, without much success - this gives me an idea of what to do at least. Looks like I need a partition of at least the same size as the damaged one to copy the blocks over to. Unfortunately, I haven't got another *drive* that's as big as that partition... Looks like an expensive deal for a single bad block! I'll be getting a replacement big drive to replace the damaged one, and a large external drive to use for backups. Ironic really, as the server was supposed to be my backup solution - it has my subversion repository on it, and an rsync module for backup. Unfortunatly, I'd started to use it as a webserver etc... Oh well, first disk corruption in 10 years - got to learn the hard way sometime... -- Ant... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
