Hi, for different reasons my ext2 partition got corrupted:
EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck
EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck
now, I'm using e2fsck to fix those problems, I've been for a long long time scanning my device, a flash drive, but I'm still far far away to rich the last inode and finish this.
My question is:
1. is there a way to use e2fsck /dev/sdb1 with an auto answer? because I always have to respond yes at question like: fix length?, erase? fix?
2. is there a package that can do this scanning with better results? I've already used testdisk but nothing.
3. when I've finished to scan my flash with e2fsck -or other tool- is there a good percentage to save my data?
