Hi Ted and others, I created a new partition on my disk, and without noticing the change in the hdaX of the partition i did an mke2fs /dev/hdaX. :( Unfortunately it was my /home partition and was an ext3 partition earlier. Can anyone please advice on how to retrieve the old data. I read that mke2fs nukes all the meta information, so does that mean all inodes are destroyed and there is no hope for me ?!?!? i did a cat /dev/hdaX > /dev/hdaY, which was an empty partition earlier so that I can play around a bit. I tried couple of things with debugfs but coudn't go much far. thanks john __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
