HELP!!!
I don't know if anyone has heard of this before or not, maybe I'm dumb or something. At work we were trying to share out a directory to the network from a stand-alone server. The server does not run NIS or NIS+, so when we tried to use the (share -F nfs -o ro=allmachines etc.) it didn't work. Next we tried to link the directory to a new directory on the network thinking they might be able to access it that way. Here's the problem, when the link didn't work, we deleted it. Easy enough right? Problem is, the directory we were trying to link out from the server ALSO disappeared. Funny thing is, all the data (60GB) that is in the directory is still somewhere on the partition. I did a df -kl and I can still see the data still occupies space but when i try to go to the directory its not there. When I ran the find command, It brought back zero hits. I rebooted the machine thinking the system had errored out and the data wasn't really there. When the system came back up, in the console window were scrolling errors about the missing data....I'm totally lost, is the data their or not? If it is, how do I recover it? If not how can i get the system to realize this so I can restore it from backups? The partition is at about 93% right now.
