Suppose something goes wrong, and fsck puts all the files in lost+found.
|
|
It's actually very easy to recover from this disaster.
|
|
|
|
First, check out the git repository again. Then, in the new checkout:
|
|
|
|
mkdir recovered-content
|
|
sudo mv ../lost+found/* recovered-content
|
|
git annex add recovered-content
|
|
git rm recovered-content
|
|
git commit -m "recovered some content"
|
|
git annex fsck
|
|
|
|
The way that works is that when git-annex adds the same content that was in
|
|
the repository before, all the old links to that content start working
|
|
again. This works particularly well if the SHA1 backend is used, but even
|
|
with the default backend it will work pretty well, as long as fsck
|
|
preserved the modification time of the files.
