Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree, after going back over the commands, those ones you highlighted seem very suspicious.... These commands were executed weeks ago amid a fair amount of confusion.
But yes, I think that you are right - from memory the FS became inaccessible at about the time you mention. I would say that was the best theory as regards this problem. Assuming that this is the case, do I stand a chance of retrieving that volume and accessing that data again? Or does "destructive" imply total loss? (In which case, I'll cut my losses....)
