I just came back after being out for a while. Apparently there was
a power failure long enough to discharge the UPS completely on my Linux
box.
After powering back up, I received notice that the / filesystem needed
"manual fsck"ing.
I booted off CD and attempted to fsck. Unfortunately, everything I've
tried has proved futile and I'm _desperate_ for some help. I've google'd
for just about everything I can think of and am out of ideas. :-(

Obviously the data on this filesystem is very important, and contains a
lot of stuff that has not been backed up (I know, I know. Lesson
learned.) Is there any hope of recovering the files on this filesystem?
Thanks in advance for any help!
