Apologies for spamming this list as this is not really a kernel question, but I could not find any appropriate list. Probably someone on this list with experience with e2fsprogs might help me. I was playing with the undelete option of debugfs. While trying to delete some file in ext3 and restore it this is what I did # dd if=/dev/zero of=testfs bs=4096 count=2000 # mkfs.ext3 testfs # sudo mount -t ext3 testfs mount -o loop #cd mount # echo manish > test # ls -alirt total 20 11 drwx------ 2 root root 12288 2008-03-26 00:12 lost+found 3491025 drwxr-xr-x 3 mkatiyar mkatiyar 4096 2008-03-26 00:12 .. 14 -rw-r--r-- 1 mkatiyar mkatiyar 7 2008-03-26 00:13 test 2 drwxr-xr-x 5 mkatiyar mkatiyar 1024 2008-03-26 00:13 . # rm test # sudo umount mount # debugfs -w testfs debugfs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) debugfs: lsdel Inode Owner Mode Size Blocks Time deleted 0 deleted inodes found. (END) debugfs: logdump Journal starts at block 0, transaction 8 Why is it still showing 0 deleted inodes ???? Should the deletion be shown in the journal ?? Any pointers to appropriate list will be helpful.
