Hello everybody, I am new to this list, so welcome everybody. Last 2 week I had two harddisk crashes with my ext2 file system. This is what sort of happed with both of the disk: I pluged in my USB to SATA converter in my harddisk that has an ext2 filesystem. I mounted the partition, went to a directory that had a DVD image. I mounted the dvd image in the same directory and started watching the movie. After 40 minutes the movie stops. After some investigation I saw the ISO image was not mounted anymore. And dmesg was showing 3 USB bus reset log entries. I rebooted the computer and tried to mount the usb ext2 disk partition again. But it failed. dmesg and a fsck showed messages about the root inode being gone! fsck.ext2 -p /dev/sdd1 did not work manual run is needed. On the first 500GB disk I did an fsck.ext2 -y /dev/sdd1 did did not fixed my disk it had still errors, I lost 35% of my data, but the partition was mountable again, and the files where in the lost+found directory. I don't want this to happen with the second 750GB harddisk, I would like all my data back. fsck.ext3 -n /dev/sdd1 > fsck-crash-info.txt 2>&1 http://filebin.ca/mczmks/fsck-crash-info.zip What should I do? What commands do you want me to run to provide more info? How can i restore my root inode?
