I didn't think of that. I had a line in fstab to mount the partition automatically with defaults. I have since removed that line. > The "testdisk" package, I have already mentioned contains a tool called > "PhotoRec" [1] that might just do the trick.

I have now recovered most of the files I hadn't backed up. photorec is impressive in that it recovers much more than image files. Some of the jpg files are corrupted. Interestingly gimp displays a preview of the images in the open dialog box, but won't open them. Any ides on how to salvage corrupt jpg images? I have posted a sample image and screenshots of the gimp screens at: http://legomenon.org/~gary/found/ 7628.jpg 05-Jun-2006 10:28 732k gimp_message.jpg 05-Jun-2006 10:38 31k gimp_preview.jpg 05-Jun-2006 10:20 67k -- Gary Parker Cayuse, OR -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
