That happened with older versions where it was mentioned - writing support experimental, use at your own risk. I did, and lost my entire home directory. Ran an fsck, got everything back in lost+found. Yes, I got absolutely everything back. Not a byte lost. Only thing, I had to figure out the file names. Files that were inside directories had their original names. It wasn't hard. Ran file on each of the files to figure out their types, and then looked at the contents using relevant viewers to figure out the names. You can search ilug-bom archives for more details - http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/linuxers/ -- Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
