Software / Swapfile Follies
« on: June 10, 2005, 10:59:43 pm »
I was trying to set up a swapfile on my 4 gig Hitachi CF card on an SL 6000L running the Sharp rom V. 1.12. Referencing this thread,

I typed # mkswap /dev/hda1 as root. This apparently formatted my whole 4 gig CF microdrive as a swapfile. Is there any way to undo this and recover the previous ext2 formating and files on the CF card? I don’t have access to a linux box to try to read the card. (I am apparently dangerous enough with just my Zaurus.)
