ext4 directory listed as a file
Posted: 20 Jul 2012, 20:03
Following a power failure, my large (8TB) ext4 filesystem wouldn't mount. I've been running fsck for a while, but after 2 weeks, it still hasn't completed. When i run testdisk i'm able to find the drive, partition, and see a listing of my files and directories. The probably is that the directory with 95% of my data shows the proper name, but the directory flag isn't there. It shows up as a file. Is there anything i can do about this? Thanks for any suggestions you have!
