B4 proj guys holler about reporting, I've been completing a more standard b/u procedure using my el-cheapo LVM-based stuff and that took priority once I saw the symptoms.
My needs came first.
It's very possible I missed anything about the problem, as I don't read everything.. <snip>
I hope I didn't mislead. That was for Jim, John, K etc. Normally if I hit a problem that I can't nail to my own foot (ouch!) I try and raise a flag. But I initially felt like I might have started this series problems of mine.
I seem to have backed out of them a bit (time will tell) by using my root fs backup as a "comparator" and adding *unsuspected* later things from the live system. Things stabilized at that point. Next cron-invoked prelink and/or yum update will probably enlighten me more though.
BTW, am running off the "backup" root fs created with my latest "semi- script" (semi=needs some coalescing and parameterization) and am about ready to put it into cron.
I gotta say, it is really neat doing backups while the production work (as if I really had any :-() kept on going. And cheap too! Commodity 100GB HDs about $40 after rebates. With some hdparm application for spin-down and up, should be pretty damn reliable.
As I promised in another thread, I will both post details about this (when ready) for other on-the-cheap users and try to test testdisk.
As stated in that post, slow going though.
thanks Bill...
