My file system has disappeared! On Friday, 12/16, when I last logged
in, I had a fairly large collection of files, but was NOT over quota.
On Tuesday, 12/20, when I logged in again, everything except
subdirectories was GONE. It looks like someone pulled an rm * -i on
my files, but I KNOW I didn't do it.
No, I didn't accidentally wipe everything out.
No, I didn't go over quota and get hosed by the fileserver.
No, you can't blame user error for this one!
Missing files include:
page*.tex (* = 1, 2, ... 12)
story*.tex (* = 1, 2, 3)
cleanup (a batch file)
txtrdr.c, txtrdr
None of these were created on Friday (12/16), though some of them may
have been modified (I don't remember). If there is anyway to restore
these files from backup tape, I would greatly appreciate it.
Yes, I know that you should back things up to floppy. That's one of
the things I was GOING to do Tuesday!
As soon as you can figure out what's going on, please send me mail.
