[Ocfs2-tools-users] Recovering corrupted files

Hi Folks,

I have a basic 2 node cluster setup with a shared drive 
(/dev/etherd/e1.0p5) in the early stages of a test environment.

Unfortunately, this morning a mistake by the power company cut the power 
for the entire block, and, as this is a test setup, our SAN and 2 nodes 
were not hooked up to a UPS.

Long story short: 2 files on the shared ocfs2 drive now have a zero file 
size.

I have the drive unmounted (almost right away), and I have mucked around 
with debugfs.ocfs2, including attempting to dump one of the files to a 
local drive, but all I ended up with was a blank file.

I am at a loss on how/if I can repair/retrieve these files.

Any tips would be much appreciated.
