[NBLUG/talk] Recovering data from a failing hard disk

[Lincoln Peters]

Now it has gotten a bit silly:

# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[snip]
/dev/hdi1             128G   96G   33G  75% /old
/dev/hdg1             234G  126G  109G  54% /new

It would seem that the 96GB's of data that I tried to recover from /old
are taking up 126GB's on /new!  And "cpio" is *still* running!

Both filesystems are formatted as "reiserfs".

Any ideas what might be going on here?

I don't have any solution but I certainly admire the problem.
