well, re-installation is not necessary: you can tar the contents of the |
| 16 |
affected partition, umount partition, re-create the filesystem and then untar |
| 17 |
the backup (do not forget to use --preserve-permissions). |

if it is your root partition you need a live-cd or installation-cd to |
| 20 |
accomplish this. |
