In a fit of irony, while preparing to burn a CDROM with some software I've been writing for about six months, I did a rm *>o instead of rm *.o on an ext3 filesystem. And I'm well aware that under normal circumstance you can't undelete, especially a ext3 filesystem. However, I need to at least *try* to recover this. I've built lde (linux disk editor) and if I can isolate a certain block, I can at least get the data off, since I've unmounted the partition. All my source files have a certain #include, so does anyone have an efficient way to read an unused block from an ext3 partition, check if a certain string is present, and if so return the block number? I've never deal with filesystem code (Just a scientific programmer) so if anyone has a skeleton set of code that I could use as a basis I would be most happy. -- Greg Hennessy gsh@usno.navy.mil 3450 Mass Ave NW Washington DC, 20392 _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
