DiscKnight Help

I have a SCSI drive, HardDisc4, attached to my Rpi4 running RO 5.28. When I click the HardDisc4 icon on the iconbar I get “Error when reading SCSI::HardDisc4.$ – Broken directory”. DiscKnight (1.55 12-Aug-2018) reports “Disc is good”.
What should I do now to recover my files?

What is the command

CheckMap

saying?

A broken directoy is not necassarily a broken disc ;-)
even I think that DiscKnight should cure this too.

No, but broken $ is rather important, though I’m surprised DiscKnight hasn’t spotted it. Druck is around, he’s the one with the know-how.

The question nobody likes to be asked: When was your last backup?

DiscKnight will spot and fix a broken directory – are you checking the correct drive?

BTW: Please use the DiscKnight email address for support, I check it more regularly than forums or newsgroups.

Everything seems to be working OK now. I guess I had not rebooted before testing the filer after the repair.

Phew! Glad it was that simple.

Now, backups…..

You are a bit late, all the issues came up over 20 years ago on the DiscKnight mailing list.

Yeah, on an old RISC PC hard disc which used to suffer from the summer heat, I used to find myself constantly forgetting to reboot after a Disknight repair; handy tool. :)
