Help! Last night, when I was downloading a monster file, and then moving
other files around for neatness and backing up purposes, a pretty large
directory just vanished - I mean the information or `link' to it. It is
there alright - info or any other command that shows disk usage still shows
the original disk-usage. It has vanished from both the workbench and shell.
Listing does not help. I can't access any files in it, simply because I can't
cd into the directory. It is there, but the inode[Does the amiga have
inodes?] appears to be unlinked or corrupted. Since I am new to the Amiga,
having bought it as a Christmas treat, I am not too sure how I can recover
the directory. Is there a hard drive salvager, a la Dave Haynie's DiskSalv
(Not DiskQuack .. er DiskDoctor) available as PD or shareware? Is there any
amiga counterpart to the Unix `clri'?
My system is a Amiga 2000HD [Rodime 3055(40 MB), with 2090A] with 3MB.
(Sure to be upgraded to either A2500/UX or A3000, when I can afford it,
and when they are out)
Thanks in advance,
