Strange oops? Don't suppose you've got a copy of it, do you?
This sounds like hardware failure. At this point, restoring anything without verifying the sanity of your hardare is an exercise in futility.wouldn't work, I did a hard reboot. I did a little bit of stuff in a fresh Windows install. Then I rebooted, and I got the message that the root filesystem can't be mounted on /dev/hde2 (where it's been just fine for ages). I tried my Gentoo CD, and it didn't pick up a single partition (hde1-3) on the disk, just /dev/hde. Linux fdisk doesn't pick up a partition table either. HOWEVER- I think there might be hope- Bootit NG reports all three partitions, safely, as Linux partitions (it doesn't understand ext3, XFS, and swap), in their normal sizes. Anyone know how I might restore my table, with data?
Is tar cheap enough for you? ;)
And, slightly related, what's a relatively cheap, reliable backup solution? This is the second time I've been without my data this month (the first time
the disk blew on me), so I guess I'm not really learning my lesson :0
It depends on what you want to spend, how much data you need to back up, and how often you want to back it up.
