Make sure to only use a copied image to test. Thanks for your advice. I will try the tools. I also found the article about how to create and mount image. https://midnightprogrammer.net/post/create-mount-and-unmount-img-files-in-ubuntu/ The article says, the image file created...

Hi all, Can anyone explain or give an clues as to what just happened? I'm running CentOS 5.2 as a desktop with Gnome. Fully up to date, etc. I was dragging a folder of image (.jpg) files to another folder on the same filesystem (LVM ext3) with the mouse and as I dropped the folder into the new folder - poof! - it disappeared like a puff of smoke. I've searched everywhere for the

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove. I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime. Thanks!

Yes, I rm'ed the wrong directory. The disk has not been written to since, now mounted ro. Is it possible to recover the files without doing forensics on the whole partition? I know the UID and path. XFS is supposed to be pretty amazing, can I get it to do this? Thanks, Dave

Mount the image with the option '-o ro' as read-only. Depending on the kind of data you removed you could use 'testdisk' or 'photorec' to recover. Make sure to only use a copied image to test.

...dumb question, but I can't for the life of me figure out why sendmail and courier are classified universally as network-mail-mta whereas dovecot is in places like network-mail-general or some such place. I've used several Linux distros and have noted this keenly (they also normally classify photorec, the HD recovery tool as hardware-photography,so this may just be a mistake). I'm concerned that I'm looking into the wrong software for an mail transport/delivery agent. Thanks, David

Hello... I am trying to run a program under linux using wine called "Recover My Files". This program is designed to recover data from corrupted harddrives contining FAT and NTFS partitions by reading them sector by sector or cluster by cluster. The thing is, the drive in question is unmountable due to logic problems on the device, which it appears is rendering the drive invisible to

Hi, is it possible to Restore files deleted with " rm rf " from ext4 or ext3 filesystem by mistake. Regards Ahmad

Recently (and for ages, I'm sure) folks have suffered partition destruction and had to try and recover. In the recent thread, the victim eventually had to resort to Google and fond some package that I can not remember now. Well, I was perusing my YumInfo.lst.05, for general info, and I discovered this (potential) little gem. Thought I would pass it on and make it "more googleable"

So I''m having a bit of trouble with one of my btrfs filesystems. It isn''t mounting after a power failure. I can''t get restore or btrfsck to run, even on backup supers. I''ve pasted some output below. My btrfs-progs below come from git this morning, running on linux 3.2.0. # mount /dev/md2 /media/test/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on

Hi, Need help on data recovery. Suddenly my disk device's geometry has been changed to something that doesnot make any sense. Its a 1.8TB in size and had only one single partition. Now I can see 3 partitions sde1, sde2 and sde2 of sizes 130M, 140GB and 10GB. Is there any way to recover data from these newly created disk devices? Thanks Paras.

Hi list! I recently butchered my filesystem, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to help. Problem: My filesystem is screwed up, and I can''t mount it at all right now. In the logs, the problem begins around 45s. Background: I''m running a 6x4TB RAID5 array using md. I have a few virtual machines using said array, and one of them is a btrfs storage server. I ran into some
