Hi --
Any hints on recovering a corrupted Rev file? We're using 2.6 on Mac OS
10.4.3 and saving files to a Sun workstation that emulates a Mac server by
using a program called xinet. Anyway, when a student's quota is exceeded
on the server, there is no error message when his RR stack is saved;
however it is corrupt when the student tries to open the stack the next
day. By corrupt, I mean that RR won't even begin to open it.
One of my students just lost a couple of weeks of work. I can use vi or
emacs to directly edit the RR file if I know what to go and fix. Any
pointers to documentation that might help me?
I haven't checked in a long time, but the last time I asked about this I
was told that you can't edit a stack file in a text editor, because then
the checksum won't match.
Is there a second file on the server that starts with a tilde(~)? That
would be the original backup copy that Rev makes before saving. In that
case, all you have to do is remove the tilde from the file name and the
old copy will be restored. You'll lose all the changes since the last
save, but at least your student will have the original back.
