There was a power surge and i came in to find the computer hanging! after booting into single user mode and running fsck, i had to fix loads of files, reconnect etc and clear unknown files types! 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! Filesystem 512K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd1s1a 63550 50670 7796 87% / /dev/wd1s1f 5723228 1954348 3311022 37% /usr /dev/wd1s1e 59454 11304 43394 21% /var procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc Any help would be greatly appreciated!
