Here are the results: Most of the files are still 4KB and not meaningful, some files whose size are 8KB, but still not meaningful, i.e., only some unknown and strange contents in those files, only those pdf files whose size are larger than 8KB are real files, they are useful files. Since my partition size is 400GB, I should have far more files than here, but at two of my machines, extcarve stalled at some step, it seems the process is still there but it stops generating more files. jxiao@th107c-6:~> ls -l /mnt/usbstick/RECARVED_FILES/ total 384 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve1RITdT.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve1s8oaZ.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve2lIpqA.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28672 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve2vm7gW.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve3JXkZD.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve7FI0YM.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve7kADgL.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarve8wouIy.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvebqkCDK.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveCbKucU.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:07 extcarveCGxSgK.png -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvecmUimP.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:08 extcarved8HC0z.png -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveD9ZSjI.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveDO7CIl.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36864 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvedqoMd4.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvedWuCvQ.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:08 extcarveeCrRf1.png -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveEfGMQZ.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveGdJ8hw.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvegf35Oa.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24576 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvegXLHGf.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveGZenG1.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvehCFJFW.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveiYO3Jp.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveJkY8r1.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveKyRrks.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:08 extcarvemPFqvs.png -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32768 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvenAtFWu.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveNiJHTt.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveoKb9bp.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveotikLR.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveP194o9.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvep9q2Oe.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveqiQFRN.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveqmfEed.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveRF2d55.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28672 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvesKXZwr.pdf -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvesuUtai.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveTDXWSm.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveTQV47h.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveuUmoN6.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveVLW6aB.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvew73gEx.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12288 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvew9bYbn.jpg -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:08 extcarvewEpAGI.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveweQmFD.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvexamR4b.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveY4OWK3.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvey5zhr8.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:08 extcarveYiwhLT.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvezC2MHI.jpg -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarvezGrAFk.cpp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 15 11:13 extcarveZppUaG.cpp -Jidong _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
