A data disk failed fsck after a crash and diskinfo confirmed it. After a complete power OFF/ON the disk was fine and file system mounted okay.
I copied then a directory with "tar", replaced the disk, and when restoring the directory the new disk failed again, in the same spot.
I also copied some files and directories to /tmp and other servers.
Since the file system was mounted and diskinfo showed to be okay, I thought there was no data corruption and safe to do a "tar".
I replaced the disk again, and now I'm typing all the scripts again, as I'm afraid to repeat the corruption if I "tar" or copy the files back.
Question: Was this case a strange case, or is this what to expect? If I copy ( cp & rcp ) back the files, do I run also the risk of copying the corruption ?
thanks...
