Suggestion in addition to Robin's... If you can... create a byte-for-byte back-up of the partition (using dd). E.g. $ sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/usbdrive/my-backup-of-sda1.img bs=1M This way you can continue working on your hard drive while you do "off-line" recovery on the filesystem img. Mount an image like this for doing your recovery work: $ sudo mkdir /mnt/my-recovery $ sudo mount -o loop,ro /media/usbdrive/my-backup-of-sda1.img /mnt/my-recovery WARNING: Be VERY CAREFUL when using dd. It will unconditionally overwrite anything you put in the 'of' parameter... including your hard drive. This is true even if mounted read-only... it will kill. -gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
