Here goes the story... I was manipulating a picture (jpg) with gimp and mistakingly saved the file instead of doing a save as. I assume that what gimp did was to write the new file then ulink the old one. Now I found the adress where the original file starts and I cand read the first 8192 bytes of it. I found it by searching for the dateand time specified in the jpeg header which did not change from the original file to the new. Is there a way to find the missing blocks? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
