A harddisk on the laptop asked for fsck which was done.a.If the numerical name is a directory, just cd to it.
The process took quiet some time and at the end of it, it

the data to the lost+found directory and also the ext3
journal info of
the partition was changed by the FSCK process to ext2.
Now, all the folders and files are gone and they seem to be
in the
lost+found directory and all the folders and files names
have bene
changed to numerical.
the command tune2fs also did not help.
How to recover the folders and files from the lost+found
directory ?
From my experience I found following
b.Do an ls, you can guess original name from this.
c.You can use grep to search and guess the original file name
d.Use commands strings, file, find to guess and
?try to restore to original name
