so i started to run fsck, and here's what i got (after i stopped it,
which may have been a bad decision in itself, but the statement i got
wasn't too uplifting either):
----------
dabox > fsck /dev/hdb1
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
Block bitmap for group 512 is not in group. (block 22020176)
Relocate<y>? yes
Inode bitmap for group 512 is not in group. (block 22020176)
Relocate<y>? yes
Inode table for group 512 is not in group. (block 22020184)
WARNING: SEVERE DATA LOSS POSSIBLE.
Relocate<y>?
----------
i'm not liking that second to last statement. let me guess ... i'm
screwed? good thing there wasn't any important/non-backed data on here
that i don't need ... but i'd really like to recover it to save time
later ... but it seems all i can do is hit "y" and hope for the best,
eh?
