I had another problem with my sstor drive yesterday (grrr). Most of the
time it works just fine. From time to time (it's happend twice now in the
space of a couple of months), a whole directory entry gets munged and neither
sstor's repair facility nor chkdsk will fix it. Now, the first time it happened
I used ndd (even though I know it says you shouldn't), and it worked
very well, recovered the files and dirs, (followed by unerase).

This time not even ndd would access the directory structure properly. It
offered to move it to another spot, which I accepted, and it then failed
all over.

PCTOOLS (v6) diskfix did the job however (Yeeeaahh!), *BUT* the sstor
stats now appear to be wrong. 8-( . All the data is still on the disk
(100Mb SCSI Harcard, [Time, UK]), but the disk stats report only
13Mb used, when I know that there's nearly "120Mb" roughly used of the
sstor container. Neither ssutil nor chkdsk report any errors in *anything*.
The system is working (perfectly?!?) happily, and my other 86 Mb IDE drive
is unaffected. (I boot DOS from the IDE drive).

Now, I guess it's something to do with a different cluster size used
by diskfix and sstor.  *ANY GUESSES* ?

Moreover, how do I get it fixed???
Flood gear at the ready......

Thanks
