I should have known better, but I just tried to use Partition Magic 6 to resize partitions on a hard disk that had Linux on it. It froze in the middle of a move and I had to switch off the power to kill it. I was afraid I'd lost everything, but Windows and one installation of Linux booted. My favorite installation of Linux, though, dropped me into a shell on boot-up and suggested I run e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda10. I did, but it told me I had a zero length partition. I can still cd around the installation from the shell and see that everything's there, but I don't know how I can get it to boot through to a regular log-in prompt. How can I restore the superblock on a Linux partition? Do an "upgrade" installation into the partition and make a cosmetic change or two? Will that rewrite it? Or use a rescue disk? TIA, Glenn Evanish
