trying to restore ... virtualbox won't come up (I was in virtualbox when my window manager lost mouse coordination and I hat to "reboot").
I see that many of the files in /lost+found have virtualbox strings in them. Anybody have an idea how to get them back to their proper places? On 11/04/19 20:47, n952162 wrote:
I had a power-loss situation and when the system came up I went into the grub rescue screen - my root file system was trashed. I fsck-ed that and had a ton of prompts until I did the "all" answer. I guess it can happen, every once in a while - even with a journaling filesystem - I guess. I was able to bring up the system but then discovered that my home filesystem was also trashed, hundreds of files in lost+found and many gone forever. Both filesystems ext4. What gives? Should I have quick gone out and bought a lottery ticket, or is journalling just hype?
