I may be in a bad way.
I used fsarchiver from the SystemRescueCd LiveCD to create archives of my LL 10.04 root and home partitions. That part was successful - no errors reported. The archives are on an external USB HD. The HD is formatted ext3.
I used the GParted 0.6.1 on the SystemRescueCd LiveCD to repartition my internal HD. I removed all partitions and then set up the drive as follows:
10Gb primary partition for root (flagged bootable) formatted as ext4
101.79 extended partition (the rest of the HD)
20Gb logical partition for home formatted as ext4
2Gb swap at the end of the logical partition
My LL 10.04 was originally on ext3 partitions. I converted them not to long ago to ext4. That too, was successful. I've had zero problems with LL 10.04 since that conversion.
My problem is that fsarchiver won't restore the archives it just successfully created! All sorts of errors. These (just a sampling) from the attempt to restore the root archive:
Similar errors on the attempt to restore the home archive.
I've posted a plea for help on SystemRescueCd forums at fsarchiver won't restore archives just created
If no one, here or there, can tell me what's happening, and more importantly, how to resolve it, so I can restore my OS, I will have to reinstall and will have lost EVERYTHING!
