Is there any way I can undelete? We have SuSE 8.0 with reiser. Urgent!
AFAIK this is not possible. I hope you have backup.
reiserfsck has restored everything I lost but I can only see it in runlevel 1 where /home is totally visible again.
Ahh, you had an crash. I asumed you had manually deleted the files. Sorry, I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Back in runlevel 3 or 5 /home exists but contains no directories and I can't write to it not even as root. I copied /home to /usr in runlevel 1 where it is readable and so burnable to a cd. Question: why should /home be unwritable whilst /usr is?
Probaly you have /usr on your root partition and /home on a different partition. If i recall correctly, in run level 1 (singel user mode), all partions except the root partiton are mounted read-only.
The crash happened during a power failure but I'd like a software answer that we can avoid problems in future.
Uhh. Probably software isn't the anser for an hardware problem. Think about UPS-es. A journalling filesystem is a usefull tool, not a garanty, during a power failure.
