A good optional extension, probably, but a standard tool, never. There are destroyed, deleted or lost structures and there is a lot of heuristic function. Installation on a production server is a no go for any administrator. Useable for some small forensic problems and a last chance to recover some lost files. Nobody needs this regularly. Everyone has a good backup, and no one destroy its files and file systems. It is very rarely needed. The users prefer extundelete. This is buggy, the development sleeps for 2 years, on the mailing list no answers, but it is easy to use and there are many HOWTOs, and all love it ;-) One of the problems of ext4magic, of course, no English documentation. But at the moment is the one man show, and my English is a disaster. The world would laugh at it. I need some help for translation. Proofread, for a native speaker with technical understanding a few minutes work, for me ... We'll see, I try Regards, Roberto Maar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
