What's the normal sequence of steps to recover from a corrupted filesystem? It appears the first 64-inodes are "screwy" (according to fsdb). After that, things look reasonable. I used fsdb to look at the first 150k inodes and found an expected mixture of directories and inodes. Is there an easy way to recreate my root directory and link some of these directories (presumably the ones whose parent was inode 2? how do I find that out?) into the root? Or, failing that ... I have a backup from about a week ago. Is there a tool to scan what's left of the filesystem for anything more recent? Help! ;-)
