I have a 40G drive that I have been running under 2.2.14 and later for quite a while. Yesterday, I accidentially auto-mounted the drive under kernel 2.2.13. Since it can't handle that large of a drive layout, it did lots of nasty things to my drive. (They scrolled by too fast to see) Now I've got lots of unknown filetypes, and directories that want to be files. For example:
?--------- 0 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 in
Under 2.2.13, fdisk thinks:
Disk /dev/hdc: 32 heads, 63 sectors, 6935 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 1 39703 40020592+ 83 Linux native
Command (m for help): v
Total allocated sectors 80041186 greater than the maximum 13980960
My question is: When I go back to a sane kernel, is there a way to recover my information?
