<DIV>Just for reference, are you saying he somehow mounted a Linux
filesystem on a *raw* partition?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Or did he perhaps simply put it on a system with *one*

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And did he also have a swap partition?</DIV>

and the fact that it was not truly mission critical to anything (just a
*huge* investment of time), there are apparently no backups. So... on to
rebuilding the site.<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></TD>
