I have been in that situation and this is a prayerful 8 hours. NEVER stop a rescue in progress -- it may be the last time that drive starts up. But you know that. Tracy's presentation on s3 has me thinking. I have 2 large tars to split and protect. The digital photos are irreplaceable, albeit on DVD as back up. They went through a similar rescue once. The mp3 partition right now represent more labor that irreplacable. s3 -- my back-up of the future. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
