I had the same problem with fsck.vfat -a /dev/sde6
I was backup my hard disk with my mp3 collection, the parition is about 55 gb and it was almost full. rysnc threw up lot of I/O errors and so i did a fsck. fsck.vfat -a /dev/sde6 After the fsck there were numberous fsck####.rec files. Those files were recovered but put in the top hierarchy of the drive and not in the subfolder from where they came. But since the names are changed, how can I put them back the original folders. There are numerous files and numerous subfolders and also number .rec files, so renaming them and putting back would be a big problem. Is this Ubuntu specific or dosfstools specific ? I am ready to supply more information if needed. -- data loss in vfat partition and numerous fsck###.rec file generation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
