I found it very helpful. It's in German, but perhaps someone can translate it for you. With the information provided in the document, the tools mentioned in the text, and some cautious looks at the openafs header files, I was able to reconstruct some of the fragments in lost+found.

        Thnx, I will try to find someone to help with this.

For almost complete volumes structures (small and large vnode index files and large vnodes must be available) I can provide you with a script that restores the volume directory structure and files to another location in 'real' filespace. Filenames are translated to the 'real' filenames. For corrupted or missing files, you will get some informations and the names, so you can try to find them in the remaining fragments. The script also has a 'dry run' mode.

        Please share it, thnx:)


With the additional informations from your old ro volumes, you might be able to reconstruct complete volumes. But it's tricky and you will need some time.

The script and some of my other tools are a 'first try' and the comments are german. I never had the time to rewrite the source. And I'm not a very experienced programmer....


It's ok, at this moment I am not missing anything critical. However it should be a good drill for the future.
