Hi, i've installed cfs-1.3.3-2 and i'm having some problems..
It goes like this, i've been using it for quite some time, one day
i forgot one directory i cattached open. The energy went out and of
course the computer shutted down.
I cattached my cfs and looked inside.. everything looks normal, the
directory structure and the size of the files, but inside text files
i find nothing but garbage. I think that fsck could have done something
wrong when i restarted the computer.
The funny thing is that this only happens with the directories that were
opened when my machine turned off, other crypted dirs are ok.
i've given up on recovering the info here, but maybe, just maybe you can
help me with this..
Please tell me what other info do you need.
ill show you what it looks like..
