By the way, `chkdsk' in Windows or `fsck' in Unix can, in a way, be a
_source_ of file loss if the file metadata got damaged badly, e.g., by a
system crash, and the file node has to be cleared. So I've always been
curious if there is a way to retrieve surviving records from a
PostgreSQL database damaged by file loss. Do you know any? (Of course,
the only true solution is to have been making backups beforehand, but...)
The Ubuntu Linux site has this page on data recovery (also applicable to
other Linux flavors):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
I assume that a database file, because of its structure, is harder to
recover after it becomes corrupt than, say, an XML file. But any port
in a storm, right?
Thanks!
