I've had the experience where a root system running ext3 was so clobbered that it had to be accessed via a boot floppy. The only rescue floppy I had on hand did not have an fsck thas was able to recover the ext3 system... Bingo... a big problem, yes? After upgrading the utils on the floppy, I was able to fsck.ext3 the partition in question and all data was recoverable. That was my point, sorry I wasn't clear enough in the begining. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
