<p dir="ltr">Hi Hillary, </p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for reaching out. I am forwarding your request to our Grand Rapids Linux Users Group list in hopes someone knows, and can reach out to the Kalamazoo Linux Users Group. They're a very active bunch with great experience and surely someone close to you will reach out. <br>
If you would, can you please give a bit more info, if possible? Can you describe the backup method used? How did you copy the 1.5GB of data to this station (external usb drive, over the network, etc.)? </p>
<p dir="ltr">cheers, <br>

<p dir="ltr">P. S. grlug, please include Hillary in your replies explicitly. Thanks. </p>

<br>
I'm located in Kalamazoo and have a Ubuntu system with what appears to be a munged file system. Details below, and I can't find anyone in K to fix it, so have widened my search. (I can bring the machine to GR.) Do you know a good consultant who could handle a job like the below?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Details:<br>
<br>
*a Zareason Ubuntu v. 12.04 LTS PC; I use it JUST for word processing with openoffice<br>
it's not hooked up to the Internet<br>
<br>
*I was copying 1.5 Gb of data files onto it (backing up another machine) and the process aborted twice. from what I could tell there was still space on the hard drive<br>
<br>
*then I noticed that the directory with my active files was weird<br>
- the latest files missing<br>
- some older files duplicated<br>
- I didn't catch the exact problem early on, so deleted a bunch of the dupes<br>
- but the problem appears to have persisted<br>
<br>
*I have backups from last week so retrieval of latest files is not crucial...but would be nice.<br>
