I am wondering if there is a simple solution to backup/restore the inode table (the relation "inode <-> filename"). With "ls -aliR" I get a list which I am now saving every few days. The parameter "-i" displays the inode, that I can reconstruct the filename from the inode, if this garbling error occurs a second time. The reconstruction process probably would be a simple "grep | cut" thing. Is there perhaps a finished script doing exactly this? Or any other ideas?
