Thnank you for your tips,
So far i was able to either restore from the backup or salvage most of the
data. However I would like to recover some of the most recent bits that are
currently lying in lost+found. Is there a way?
We do have ro copies of all volumes. Unfortunately vos release stopped
working about a month ago. Possibly due to the same reasons that resulted
to yesterday's disaster.
If you have a copy of your /vicepa with correct modebits, ownership,
and group settings for the files you may use this instead of your old
/vicepa.
It is possible tar/untar vicep-partitions and to use them after that again.
If you do that on another fileserver you should stop the corrupted one, start
the new one and do a "vos syncvldb <newserver>" in order to update the volume
location database. This will overwrite the location of each volume found on
the new server. If this doesn't work try "vos syncserv <newserver>" (I never
understood which one of those does what, but one of them does the job).
You need then probably a "fs checkvol" on the client that he gets the new
location.
You should also think about having RO-volumes of your RW-volumes on other
servers in the future. Then you easily can do a "vos convertROtoRW ..." to
get again working cell.
Cheers,
