create an advfs filesystem and restore from backup. It is a horrible job to move all the files manually to the directories from lost+found.

Btw. check if your system disk have a hardware problem.

The customer have not a backup, the only backup that we have is the lost+found that we recover from the wrong disk.

so reinstall the machine from scratch. You need more time to move the files to the original place (not knowing if a file is missing) than installing a 4.0f machine.

If you have a syscheck output install is very easy and can also be made from a PC admin ;-). You need about 3-5 hours to finish this task.

Btw. how important is the system if a downtime of 2-3 days is suitable and no backup exists?
