- help restoring a corrupt /dev file
- Posted by asumoactingbig on November 3rd, 2003
I'm in a dilley of a pickle here. In my great ignorance I
accidentally corrupted my /dev/rst0 file by cp'ing another file to it.
(dumb, I know) Of course all my backups are on tape and now, when I
try to access the drive I get an I/O error. Not too surprising I
suppose. I've got a good copy of my filesystem on tape so if I could
manage to run a restore session I think I could replace the file. How
do I fix this?
