i have an ext2 partition that used to be /home during an upgrade that partition was accidently formatted. the data is still (mostly) on the raw partition ('cat /dev/hda4 | strings' shows up my data) but the root inode doesn't know about it. i haven't done anything further to the partition other than to make a backup using dd.
anyone know of any tools to rescue the data? i tried e2retrieve (http://www.guzu.net/linux/e2retrieve.php), e2undel (http://e2undel.sourceforge.net/) and e2salvage (http://e2salvage.sourceforge.net/) but none of them compile properly under the latest gcc (ver 3.3.5-1 / ubuntu hoary). any help would be appreciated. cheers marty -- I didn't know it was over Until it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there?
