Hello folks, I had an ext3 filesystem mounted as the root of a Linux MOO server. Unfortunately, the filesystem was on one of the infamous DTLA-3070xx drives - and the drive decided to fail at the worst moment it possibly could, trashing the filesystem fairly well. The situation is as follows: I used dd_rescue to create an image of what is left of the filesystem, but I ended up with some 65MB of 'holes' in the image. Among the 'holes' is the sector that hosts a directory, /home/weyrmount/MOO (indeed, on the original drive, trying to CD into that gives IO Error) That directory contained three files, plus an 'arch' directory. Now, while I understand that recovering the MOO dir itself is unrealistic, is there any way I could recover the arch dir - and the files therein? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
