I have lost /usr which contains all my important files etc Now all i am left with is /usr and a lost+found directory which contains thousands of files prefixed with a # eg #691843 (last file) I haven't even got the basic tools to look at the files, like the command more for example! I tried installing less from the cdrom but the system just rebooted! I think i've got a major hard-disk problem! What i want to know is there any way i can recover some very important files i had in /usr or is there any way to recover all /usr?? The other file systems like /, /var are undamaged! It is only /usr that got corrupted!
