Need help recovering from a power outage
I have a Sarge machine on which there is a 60GB HD
I use it to run simulations. About 30GB on HD is some
useful results, but it has suddenly become somewhat
inaccessible because the ext3 journal became corrupted
during the outage. By mounting the partition ext2, I
can see the data files and they look OK. I think I
need to delete the journal, but HOW? All the utils
that I have found assume that the journal is surely
good, and attempt to run it before checking for any
disk corruption. Here, it seems that this is exactly
the wrong thing to do. I think I have enough spare
space on another HD to copy the files, but it would
be so much simpler if I could just zap the journal.
Any ideas?
TIA
