Hi all , Thanks to God and Linux Hackers who write down such helpfull documentations. Finally I am able to recover my data back ;-)) It was painful night but got success to get my data back . Such joyful felling :-D you can imagine .
I did refer this links to recover my data back . http://forums.infoprosjoint.net/showthread.php?t=5821 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers/197 http://www.antrix.net/journal/techtalk/reiserfs_data_recovery_howto.comments http://www.martian.org/marty/archives/000888.html I used following command to recover my partition and data . I first created backup of my formatted partion into singal file of name "filesystempartition" . linux:~ # dd if=/dev/hda2 of=filesystempartition Using reiserfsck command It rebuilds the entire filesystem tree . linux:~ # reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S -l recovery.log filesystempartition . Create "recover" directory to mount "filesystempartition" using loop option . linux:~ # mkdir recover linux:~ # mount filesystempartition recover -o loop I changed directory in lost+found directory where all my recover data will be present . But all files and directories are in number ( inode ). linux:~ # cd recover/lost+found/ So I searched for my particular file "amit.doc" which was in "/home/amit/Documents/amit/amit.doc" . linux:~ # find | grep amit.doc this was o/p of the above command : ./1898_246487/Documents/amit/amit.doc I guess that "./1898_246487" is my "/home/amit" directory . linux:~ #cd ./1898_246487 linux:~ #ls And ha ha ;-) I found all my directories and files from my "/home/amit" directory . Simple reiserfsck and dd commands helped me to recover my data . This is magic of Unix . Thanks to GNU/Linux Community -- Amit. ______________________________________________________ param vaibhavam netum etat swaraashtram samrthaa bhavatwaashishaa tebhrusham || Bharat Maata Ki Jay || -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
