crash@ckctpa.UUCP (Frank J. Edwards) (03/05/90)
First of all, to anyone who replies, "Has comp.sys.amiga been broken up into subgroups yet?" (I don't have a news feed although I can post articles :-) And the _REAL_ question: What causes the above (see Subject line) message, and what is the easiest way to fix it? (I guess that's really two questions, huh?) I've had this problem 3 times in the last week after a system crash while compiling. I've examined DiskSalv 1.42 but it doesn't fix the filesystem in-place. FixDisk won't even let me select the DH2: partition (and I'm not sure I want to -- the author says he hasn't tested the program on partitions larger than 4068 blocks and my 155MB drive has just a few more than that). DiskX 2.2 looks promising but I don't know enough about the directory structure to know how to find this "invalid key". If you respond, get as technical as you like in your explanation. I have a pretty in-depth background on Un*x machines, and I think I can handle it. Just please use e-mail! Aside to Dave Haynie: So Dave, any in-place option on D.S. for this? Another Aside to Steve Tibbett: And how about DiskX, Steve? How do I do it? Thanks to all you folks that spend time writing these recovery packages! They've saved my skin more times than I care to think about. (sigh) Now if only they could recover those program I haven't written yet ;-) Now to check those local BBS's to see if there's an updated version to any of these disk utilities... ----- Frank J.
