Well, I've played around a bit with autopsy/sleuthkit and a 10Mb test image. It isn't hard to recover text files, but I only tried to copy a file to the file system and delete it afterwards. I expect fragmentation to make matters worse. Can anyone point me to a simple overview of things like blocks, groups, inodes, etc. and fragmentation? What happens if I append some text to an already existing text file? It's really hard to find information on that on the net. Thanks in advance Andreas P.S.
