Ouch. But surely a better Disk Utility Tool would help reduce that.
It's unlikely that the files are gone; especially if the computer was
working last night. GParted seems to be a basic Disk Utility program,
not a Disk Repair program. Here is a list of some that might help:

Gparted says there is nothing wrong with the disks!
I am wondering about demounting them and having the Macintosh check
them, but not sure whether the
mac will recognise them.
I was naive enough to think that backing up data onto other hard drives
within the same computer was safe.
As above; it's more like that the catalog files and the 'structure'
that points to all the 1 and 0's has been mangled but the actual files
are still in their location and with a good Repair program can be
retrieved - saving you well over a weeks worth of time.
Um: testdisk brings back the file structure: the directories and a lot
of "0 kb" files
reflecting the files that have vanished.
I was unaware that there was malware for Linux :(
That has to be the quote of the Decade.
