Re: URGENT!!! ROOT PARTITION DELETED
Hi:
To my knowledge there is no way to recover the root.
You could however try to re-activate that partition and
see what happens. I doubt it will work because mkfs
resets the inode tables.
When you re-activate/create that partition again everything
on it is reset. So, you have to re-install the system
partition again.
