Hard disk restore
Posted on December 6th, 2004 by Sacha Chua
Having journal problems with my ext3 /home partition. I, err, dropped
my laptop, and lots of errors started showing up in my /home. _Only_
my /home partition, strangely. Just like last time.
Sync’d over my private stuff and grabbed the rest from the Net. I can
tolerate missing messages in my ~/Mail, but not corrupted files in my
arch repositories or my Emacs directory. Fortunately, I have
known-good copies on several sites.
I’m getting good at this /home restore thing.
I’ll try reformatting the partition later and seeing if that’ll do
anything. If not, well, this new partition is actually bigger than my
old /home, so…
I should lose a number of corrupted mail messages at the most, as
everything else is either safe or unnecessary.
