My Fedora 9 System had three file systems, the Logical Volume File System in ext3 and two other HDD,s, one the normal IDE Drive on the Server, the other an USB Drive; each was formatted as a complete drive without partitions as ext4. When I attempted to upgrade to Fedora 9 I realized I had forgotten to add the ext4 parameter to the Kernel Boot Options; the result was that both of the ext4 HDD file systems were destroyed. I could not find a way to recover them so I lost all of the data. This seems unacceptable to me; if one fails to provide a needed parameter the least that should happen is a warning message asking the user to go back and specify the ext4 parameter; however, even if one does not do so the file systems should not have been destroyed; they should simply been inaccessible. <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:fedora-test-list-request@redhat.com">fedora-test-list-request@redhat.com</a> wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:20090112142309.4F980619126@hormel.redhat.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Send fedora-test-list mailing list submissions to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com">fedora-test-list@redhat.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:fedora-test-list-request@redhat.com">fedora-test-list-request@redhat.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:fedora-test-list-owner@redhat.com">fedora-test-list-owner@redhat.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of fedora-test-list digest..."
