similar to: need undelete function (Jeremy, what is your idea?)

> ps: my little suggestion: if we add some parameters at smb.conf like > protected dir = /home/share, /home/user1 ; > trashcan dir = /smbtrash ; Such an addon to samba would make me weep tears of joy. The trashcan is a "security blanket" feature that Windows/MacOS/OS2/BeOS users now take for granted. Convincing them that this is now impossible because we've

Months ago there was a thread here about the implementation of a simple undelete-function (i.e: dont delete files, but move them to a folder). Is this this still a relevant idea or has this feature low priority ? thanx, peter ps: anyone knows about a 3rd-party software (propably on nt-side) that implements such a feature ? -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512

System: samba 2.0.4b on Solaris 2.x Starting point: PC's "Properties" window on a share of home directories; diskspace Used/Free "pie-chart" and figures. A colleague asked me yesterday whether this properties window could display the diskspace information, using the user's UNIX quota rather than the physical space on the disk. Our environment has potentially 14,000

After a extensive search about a tool or method to undelete/recover files deleted from a partition whit the ext3 FS, i want to make some comments about the use of this FS. What are the benefits of use the ext3 FS in a system (server, desktop, etc.) if i cant recover files deleted by an intruder if i want need to make forensics; or if i want to recover important files deleted (business, personal

I'm using the lazy expunge plugin as configured in: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge The page claims users can undelete messages without assistance from a sysadmin. How is this accomplished? When I try to subscribe to the folders under the EXPUNGED namespace, nothing happens. ~Cory Coager

I just removed a bunch of Personal stuff I should not have. Is there anyway to undelete??? Jerry

I was fooled by a hard link trying to clean up disk space. How can I undelete many files?

> Unless I am wrong, the "Recycle Bin" works only on LOCAL drives. Alas it does. But users don't know that and shouldn't be expected to understand the subtleties of operating systems, that's our job. In their world, when they use Windows or MacOS, a trashcan exists and should exist on servers as well. > Like Jonathan Kelly, I mirror network drives at night to a backup

Hi, my / is located on /dev/hda6 and my "personal storage partition" - the palce where I store my important files - is located on /dev/hda9. I've deleted a couple of files in /dev/hda9/xyz/abc. Exactly I've deleted the whole directory "abc" with mc. Now hda9 is unmounted, of course. Can you give me a recipe about how to recover those files, please! Probably

Sir/Mam Is there a way we can recover deleted files in samba shared folders?? Ryan SystemAdmin Quality Results Incorporated

I`m sorry to post that topic again, but i propose to implement a way to recover information deleted in ext3 (undeletion) in my graduation class, and i want to know your opinion and suggestions about that. I read about that at linux kernel mailing list and somebody said something about do that in vfs and it will be aplied to all filesystems. What do you thing about it ? ps.: sorry about my

Plz help me. My Q:I want solid help on how to undelete files in ext3 fs?How can I? Plz help me with full concepts with debug_fs or any other way to undel ? regards, pranav

Hi, I undelete an entire directory /var/www/html/* under RH 7.3 under ext3 . Is there an utility to recover the data ? Thanks in advance.

Having just spent a day trying to recover a deleted ext3 file for a friend, I'm wondering about this way of maintining undelete information in ext3, like is done for ext2: The last step in the deletion process would be to put back the (previously zeroed) block pointers. Since it gets logged to the journal, I _think_ that this should be safe. The worst that would happen is that, if the plug

TWIMC, I have a situation in which I can access my samba servers with win95 machines but not win98 PCs. When I double click on the server using the browse list under win98, it prompts me for a password to access //SERVER_NAME/IPC$ but denies me access after entering the password. I get accepted with no problem at this prompt with win95. I compiled with the defaults and shared the

Hi, I have installed and configured Samba version 1.9.17p2 on a server Solaris (sputnik). When I want to connect a share available on Samba server from my Server NT 4.0 SR3, the next message appears: "Incorrect password or unknown username for \\sputnik\domsai (where domsai is a [home] share) Connect as: Passord:" I profided it a username (domsai) and a valid password on UNIX and a

Hi all, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p7 and I'm having a problem where I can't execute a file on the samba drive, but if I copy it to a local drive, it works. The client is Windows NT Workstation 4.0 w/ service pack 3. The executable is named Netscape405.exe. The error I get in explorer is: Can not find F:\Netscape405.exe. Windows needs this to run F:\Netscape405.exe I find that if

Hi All, I'm having some problems getting Win'9X to connect to an NT share when the netbios name for the NT server is different from the DNS name, and the win'9x machine is using the DNS name. NT workstation is happy with doing this, but '9X isn't. The strange thing is that it works fine when '9X connects to a samba server that is similarly configured. If I understood
