There's no data loss that I know off... Shouldn't I atleast have notices something if data was overwritten? Shouldn't the partition tables be corrupt then? (Both disk manager and linux fdisk see them correctly). Don't get me wrong :-) I'm not saying you're wrong, I wouldn't dare :-), I just find it strange I haven't noticed anything and I've been running this setup for several weeks now. Is there anyway I could see this block so I can see it actually did create it? Perhaps it's written on space unlikely to be used?
Booted into the slack rescue disk this morning (busybox) and tried email the log but the telnet can't handle pipes or something (it didn't work :-() so I'll guess I'll have to write the whole thing down.
fdisk did recognize all the partitions as they were on the PIIX controllers the disks come from (on the hd[e-h] devices) I was unable to mount anything tho' mount /dev/hdh3 /mnt/hd gave me a file doesn't exist (mnt/hd dir exists) support for the required filesystems is compiled in.
Also, the /dev/d<x>p<y> devices didn't exist, so I probably have to create them myself perhaps then I can mount. I'll check the files for the major/minors.
The dmesg in busy box returned more data then the kernel itself spewed during boot. I've never seen that before? Is it writing extra debuging info nowadays?
