On the topic of recovering files - the toplevel directory has about 300
subdirectories, each with 5-6 subdirs, of which one with 3 subdirs.
Initially I was able to recover all the files of the toplevel
directory, plus the 300 subdirs and any files in those. I'm now
working on the subdirs of the 300 toplevel subdirs. This is where the
vast majority of the files are stored.
I'm using rsync to copy each of the 300 toplevel subdirs individually to
keep an eye on what's being copied and what's not. I'm seeing quite a
few errors such as:
rsync: readlink "<subdir>/reports/nov2005.1.email" failed: Permission
denied (13)
rsync: readdir("<subdir>/quarantined/summary"): Input/output error (5)
Other subdirs report no errors at all. I see "permission denied" on
files, and the "input/output error" on directories.
Could these errors somehow be construed to be an indication of "how far"
the fsck is? Or which subdirs have been "marked" clean? I'm grasping
at straws here, I know.
