Make a sector-by-sector copy of the device that contains the /usr/home file system. Then u can experiment without damaging something. 2. Or installing an old backup. Then you could try fsdb on that copy... Maybe your data still hides somewhere... ;-)) The psychological part: Oh my! :-) I know that feeling... And that is why, I do many backups (every 10 minutes an incremental backup from my RAID1 home file system to a simple file system. And from there to DVD-RW... A full backup to DVD-RW every 50 days... My history teacher complained for years about his missing Hitler-LPs and somehow it always felt like he thinks somebody will just pull them out of his brief case... I am sorry, that I do not know something more curative... Maybe somebody else here knows something against that syndrome... But (experienced) history (teachers) teach(es) us, that backups r a good idea... -Arne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
