[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: ext2fs problem

[David Neeley]

Just for reference, are you saying he somehow mounted a Linux filesystem on
a *raw* partition?

Or did he perhaps simply put it on a system with *one* partition?

And did he also have a swap partition?

Just for reference, I'm helping out a friend and didn't set up the system;
he had actually created the filesystem on /dev/sda; no partition.

I for one, didn't even realize that was possible, but there you have it.

All attempts at data recovery have been unsuccessful, and because of the amount of data and the fact that it was not truly mission critical to anything (just a *huge* investment of time), there are apparently no backups. So... on to rebuilding the site.
