My father's hard drive ist kaput. The root partition had a hardware failure and there's no way on this green earth we will ever recover the filesystem information. But this partition had tons and tons of pictures on it. It is vital that I get them back.* So I believe I am forced into the stream-the-bits-and-look-for-EXIF-data trick. Or however that works. I believe we've discussed this before, and I intend to have a go at the archives. *Actually, I'm lying out my backside. If it was really all that "vital" I would have had backups. Two things I want to point out about fsck. One is that -r was unnecessary in my case. -r does nothing in fsck.reiserfs, this being a (ex-) reiser filesystem. Two, Lan Barnes, is that the -C means "show a text based GUI progress indicator". Interestingly, it takes an argument of a file descriptor to send it to. You can have stdout and stderr and still have the progress indicator stuff go to wherever makes sense. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
