Hi, I have a partition that was recovered for me by a data recovery company. Unfortunately all they gave me was a image of the disk with all the data they could recover. I managed to find an alternate superblock that works for the partition in question, but when I go to mount it is where I get into trouble. It wants to have fsck run - if I do that with fsck -y it will clean the filesystem, and mount, but *everything* (all 15GB) is in lost+found. If I just restore the superblock with fsck, and don't do anything else, then I can mount the filesystem readonly, but then when I mount it there is nothing there: #ls /mnt ls: /mnt: Bad file descriptor What else can I try? Pulling 15GB of data from lost+found is pretty impractical. Thanks, Paul
