how do I recover files from a disk crash
Greetings. It started out as an error at bootup saying that I had a bad superblock (2.6.17 kernel). However a 2.4.? kernel booted normally!! So I decided to run mke2fs with the -j (ext3) and -S (write superblock but don't touch the inodes, etc) options. It was very late and I was in a hurry and I left off the -S (ouch)!! I saw the mistake immediatly but you know linux - it's faster than superman at his best. I have no root directory!!! However, most of the disk is unchanged and I would like to try to find my config files in /etc, my bind files in /var, my config files in /usr/src/linux and my /root directory. Is there a program that will scan a disk for directory structures and recover them? I have a slackware distribution.
