I'm a happy Ubuntu user (Elementary OS 0.2 Luna).
I installed Luna on my Macbook 5,1 (late 2008). Everything works perfectly, even better than Mac OS X, but here is my problem:
- I used Utility Disk on the Mac partition, and it converted the Ubuntu's partition from ext4 to FAT32.
- The data are still there, but when I try to boot from Ubuntu it returns an 'unknown filesystem' error.
- I managed to boot from the grub rescue command line, and everything is working correctly.
- I booted from an USB stick
- How can I convert the filesystem back to EXT4 without losing data?
I can backup the whole thing and recreate the partition, but I'd prefer not to do it if possible.
Thank you!
