Apologies for not directly debian-related question on the list, but I run sid on the problem computer ( hope this is good excuse:-) ) One of my hard drives had developed bad sectors on reiserfs partition and kernel paniced. Now I cannot mount that partition, because of the read errors on the drive. How do I salvage the data? So far I made an image of that partition with copy-blocks tool from ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/disc-recovery-utils-current.tgz and I can mount the image using loop devices. However I am concerned with files/metadata damaged by missing data from the bad sectors and possible further damage from journal replay. How can I figure out if anything is damaged and if yes what files are damaged? How do I match sectors/blocks with filesystem data? Also, any thoughts on future use of that HD are welcome. -- = mailto:astavitsky@yahoo.com === http://www.geocities.com/astavitsky ===== GPG Key 0xF7343C8B: 68DD 1E1B 2C98 D336 E31F C87B 91B9 5244 F734 3C8B |_____Alexander Stavitsky
