The disk in question is an external USB disk. I did not have it connected to the server when I formatted the servers internal hard drive. I have not lost "data", but I have lost a considerable amount of man-hours that it took me to rip all my audio CDs and DVDs. It will take at least 20 hours to redo it. I also stored my desktop backups and an rsync copy of my photos on that disc, so now I have no backups and I really should do a new backup of my desktop machine ASAP. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
