Hmm.. It works but after cleaning my filesystem is really clean.
It contains only lost+found and proc

Opps ... i forgot :))) I was so many years restoring fs from backup

THAAAANKS. I got my files back !!! And 250 photos from last holidays
and my fotos of my childrens are back too !!!

Great thanks, Andreas.
