Well, then it must be something other that have freed the space. There is a painful way of trying to restore all bits that were lost. this is using -S switch in conjunction to --rebuild-tree in reiserfsck. Note that most probably your partition would be destroyed after result, though from bunch of files in /lost+found (and may be at old place) you may be able to find what you are looking for. This doesnot give the answer to the question of why the data was lost, though. Bye, Oleg
