To continue the tale of trying to recover ext2 file system:
I have not yet come to the point of trying mke2fs with -S option. But I
discovered something called R-Linux a free recovery prog available at
www.r-tt.com It is part of a commercial product called R-Studio. These are
both windows progs. With R-Linux I was able to recover 70% of data from
one partition but only 20% data from the more important partition. I know
there must be a lot more of forensic-grade software around to do data
recovery, but they are hard to come by.
Now I have come to a stage where I can at least run debugfs on the
filesystem.. So let's see how this progresses. It's been quite a learning
experience. Thanks for your tips, Raj.
