So what can I do to fix this, while still
keeping my history, cookies, tabs, etc?
I smell a rat. I wonder if the corruption is because your hard drive is
failing. I would first boot to a live CD and run smartctl tests on it.
At the end of this message.
How did you do the backup? Per file (e.g. rsnapshot or amanda), or per
block device (e.g. dd if=/dev/sda1 of=…)?
Block device. If I've resize / moved a partition since the last backup
I'll do a full (dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc), if not I'll do it by
partition (dd if=/dev/sdaX of=/dev/sdcX). Since only maybe 70% of the
drive is in partitions, it's faster that way.
I just shut down and booted off a thumb drive, and ran "fsck -f" on each
ext4 partition. Most had no errors, but a few had "this inode is too
wide" errors. There may have been one or two others. Anyhow, I'll
check again in a few days and see if those (or other) errors recur.
If you know the relevant files and have a per file backup, restoring
them should be a matter of selecting the correct file.
The most obnoxious errors are definitely under ~/.mozilla/firefox and
probably ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/extension* .
I am assuming that the corruption is all in /home and that it is
included in your backups. If either one of those is false, you may be
in deep yogurt.
Yeah, I don't know how much I trust the backup of /home right now.
