If you have a file system damaged as a result of a crash, boot with a Linux live CD and run fsck on each partition.
Incidentally, ext3 and reiserfs (as well as I believe xfs and jfs) are "journaled" file systems with much faster crash recovery (fsck) times and enhanced robustness compared to ext2. -- Bhaskar On Wed, 2005-11-09 at 17:36 -0600, Kevin Toppenberg wrote: > On 11/9/05, Greg Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you think you've lost files due to a crash, you can try running > fsck and > > then look in lost+found. > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# fsck > fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) > e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) > /dev/sdb1 is mounted. > > WARNING!!!
