You say "recover lost files" like you know that they're actually recovered properly. :) Fsck does place things in lost+found, but there is no guarantee of their usefulness. I recently had to redeploy a VM because the hosting machine's NIC was corrupting data, and so the underlying disk image became completely hosed. The Linux guest instance merrily went trying to run even though large parts of the Ext3 file system were a mess. After first noticing the problem we did an fsck and lost+found had several thousand entries. It was simpler to redeploy from scratch than wade through the 'recovered' files. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
