Linux distros typically all run fsck to check the integrity of the filesystem on boot/mount-up. If the machine came back online and acts normally and you didn't see any messages during the boot about recovering files, etc... you're probably fine. The gentleman who mentioned "lost+found" is correct also. You can look in there for recovered files. Meanwhile, the real reason I replied is that this is a typical example of why one should keep BACKUPS! :) -- Nate Duehr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Key fingerprint = DCAF 2B9D CC9B 96FA 7A6D AAF4 2D61 77C5 7ECE C1D2 Public Key available upon request, or at wwwkeys.pgp.net and others.
