| |
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
