Thanks for the info. Any idea what the PM index utility was called or who wrote it? Maybe I can google the file name or track down the original author.
The corruption is very old... it was due to an early RAID controller that corrupted data when the box froze. I ran a file * | grep data to find the corrupted files, but I never bothered with anything more than that. A real PM rebuild utility would be great.
I wish I was more active with other ubb users half a decade ago. It would have saved me hours of time spent reinventing the wheel.
