its possible to take back disconnected ext3 blocks in filesystem as

how can i put them in lost and found ? do you know any solution ?




If you have run mkfs.ext3 while the partition was mounted, then an fsck 
might put stuff in lost+found. It happened to me once when I mistyped 
the disk name (hda5 instead of hdb5). That was several years ago so I 
don't remember whether it was ext3 or ext2.




Just wanted to add that you might want to use dd to make a complete copy 
 of your disk and work on a copy (or a copy of the copy if you are 
sufficiently paranoid about your data)
