How were these two disks setup, in a RAID0 stripe? So you have one filesystem spread across both disks, correct? With the cost of disks today, I'd strongly recommend that the only RAID you use is RAID1 (mirroring) or RAID5. Don't strip across disks, because when one disk fails, or starts to fail, you're in for a world of pain. I consider you lucky to have gotten back as much data as you did, but I'd also worry that your remaining data is suspect, esp since fsck just checks the meta-data of the filesystem, but does nothing to check whether the data inside various files is actually any good. So you may have even more corruption hitting you down the line here, as you access and check files. Just my two cents, from a man who runs a pair of mirrored 120gb HD for his /home and /local volumes. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
