Hi everyone, Please excuse my ignorance as I don’t know my way around the Linux environment too well.
I configured MailPiler on a virtual machine using VirtualBox, following the instructions here: http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:vmware-ova <http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:vmware-ova> I created a second volume for additional space as per the suggestion. As I understand it, the entire /var directory is stored on that second volume? It worked great for a few months, but after a power outage last week, the virtual machine would no longer boot (it would get stuck at ‘welcome to grub!’). As far as I know, only the first volume (the bootable one) is corrupted, but the second volume (containing /var, the archive?) could still be in tact. I have rebuilt MailPiler with new VMDK files and it appears to be working OK, just without any of the original emails in the archive. My question is, would I be able to restore the archive from the broken second volume? And if so, can somebody point me in the right direction? (Yes, I should have kept a backup - but it was technically a test build, and now I am ready for production). Thanks in advance!
