Recovering Data From Lost+Found

Recovering Data From Lost+Found

[Jeffrey Sandel]

Last week we ran a firmware upgrade on a Coraid box with the drives
mounted. The firmware upgrade corrupted part of the data and caused
input output errors for users trying to acess the NFS mount. We then
repaired the xfs file system with xfs_repair and all of the data was
dumped into the lost+found directory without filenames or ownership of
the files displayed, only inode numbers. I want to restore the data to
it's oiginal state before the firmware upgrade and before the xfs
_repair. Is there a command in xfs that you can do this with. 

 

The NFS server is running Ubuntu 6.10.

 

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Please check the archives before posting questions. There is a current
thread on exactly this topic. You'll find the answer there....
