Apparently not. The directory structure was copied, but none of the
files. When I look at a directory with ls -l I get this:
Moonguide:/Classical # ls -l
/bin/ls: Beethoven: Input/output error
/bin/ls: Petroucha: Input/output error
...
I'm thinking that the drive has failed, but let me see just a bit of it
before it went. I opened another terminal window and navigated to where
it is mounted and get this:
rsteff at Moonguide:~> cd /media/NEC40GB/
rsteff at Moonguide:/media/NEC40GB> ls
rsteff at Moonguide:/media/NEC40GB> ls -l
total 0
rsteff at Moonguide:/media/NEC40GB>
I can still look at the structure of what used to be there with the
terminal window that I opened earlier, so I guess it must cache things
somewhere. fdisk -l no longer shows /dev/sda, which it did show 20
minutes ago.
