Just rewind the journal. Only if there's data journaling and no corruption in the journal due to hard system stop like tripping over the power cord. > At any rate, I once 'rm -rf *'-ed an entire 80gb reiserfs 3 filesystem > on accident.

If it had been XFS, I'm not sure, but since it's architecture is so similar to reiserfs 3, I would think you'd just have to find the right command. I have no idea about JFS, but I've never heard a story of anyone recovering a JFS filesystem (then again, I haven't heard many JFS stories, yet). I have heard stories of people "rm -Rf *"-ing whole filesystems on ext2, reiserfs, ext3, JFS, XFS & reiser4; I've only heard stories of such complete recovery with reiserfs and reiser4. > <3 <3 <3 reiserfs :) -- Lamont R.
