Recovery (was Re: serious WANT! Samsung SSD 64g drive ..)

[Tony Scharf]

The data is gone, and I figured out why.   the drive that was killed
was actually a raid container, but linux didnt see the raid controller
when I formatted it ext3.   it only formated one out of the 3 drives
(or something like that) and corrupted the whole container.   all the
files that were restored have every other stripe of data missing.  I
cant even imagine how to piece this puzzle back together...

Its kind of interesting, really, having all your data gone.  In a
sense,   Its like being back at the start of everything but with a big
stack of gear.  I was planning on getting a new PC after the move, but
now I am not locked into a PC by fact of not having *any* legacy data
to worry about.   I have a completely blank slate.

The timing is also interesting, because I also dont have any of my
gear setup.   Because of the move next week, All I have opperating is
this laptop, an m-audio controller and a copy of Reason 4.  I also
have Traktion on this laptop for the DJ stuff.  I am forced into a
zone of limitation that I havnt felt since I started out with just an
Sy85 and an EMAX II sampler.

I feel like I just finished walking the line on a gigantic mobius
strip, and am right back where I started.  Ive gained time,  and
experience though for the next circle round.

oh well.  such is life.
