An external disk had a bit of a prob when copying data to it, and I now have a bunch of corrupted files on it: -????????? ? ? ? ? ? pb072311.jpg -????????? ? ? ? ? ? pb072312.jpg -????????? ? ? ? ? ? pb072313.jpg -????????? ? ? ? ? ? pb072314.jpg

(Probably) the filesystem is corrupted. I would copy/clone the the whole partition (using eg. dd) just to make data safe (don't forget to unmount the partition first). Then you can experiment with one of the copies to recover the files and fix filesystem; try to run fsck, or this might help as well: http://www.cgsecurity.org/ (photorec, testdisk) Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
