This is normally solved by a reboot but not this time. Nothing I could do could access it and no recovery program I tried had any success. That&#8217;s everything in the \/home directory so no &#8220;mission critical&#8221; stuff, thankfully, with the exception of the IRC server, but a lot of personal stuff. Most of the really important stuff is backed up so it&#8217;s more time loss than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I discovered something about superblocks and with the aid of Caz discovered the locations of backups on the HD. With this information I was actually able to error check\/fix the HD! Trouble being there was so much corruption that what I did get back was quite limited, but useful all the same. With this data copied off the HD using my Windows machine I thought I&#8217;d return the HD to its rightful place. Bad idea. Lots and lots of errors so it&#8217;s basically knackered.<\/p>\n<p>All back to full running strength now but with half the storage. It&#8217;s still enough (this is Linux not Windows after all \ud83d\ude09 ) but I&#8217;d like more so I&#8217;m going to be on the lookout for an 80GBish drive soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About time I got around to writing about this.
