I have/had a 300gb ext3-partition, which was mounted for a while without an fsck. Some time ago I noticed, that it had "lost" 10gb (avail 0mb, used 290gb, size 300gb).
So I tried to unmount the partition and do a fsck. But the partition was "busy", so I did a umount -l on that partition (yes I know now that this wasn‘t the best idea at all) and fscked -y it. The fsck linked many inodes to lost&found, but I thought "fsck does know what it‘s doing" ;)
After this I remounted the partition and found it COMPLETLY EMPTY :(, except of thousands of files with funny names like <x-tad-bigger>"#31604834" in lost&found.
So to my question: Does anybody know how to get my data back? :)
Thanks very much and greetings from Germany,
Marc Gerritzen</x-tad-bigger>
