Hi Daip (this is probably a question for Eric),

Recently I suffered file system corruption which affected an AIPS area on one of my machines.  It seems that virtually all of the files have been saved, but they were moved into lost+found/ with unrecognizable names (that appear to have been generated from the inodes associated with the files), and the actual MACHINENAME_1/ directory is gone, it seems.

So, I was wondering, is the list of files that was in DATAAREA/MACHINENAME_1/ maintained anywhere else?  E.g. somewhere in $AIPS_HOME/DA00/ ?  Is there any other way I can reconstruct the filename from the contents of the files?  Otherwise I have 950,000 AIPS files totalling 3 TB, but no way to reconstruct a usable AIPS data area...

Thanks in advance,
Adam
