While this worked with ext2, "mc" doesn't find any deleted inodes with ext3. At least not with Valhalla (we're on psyche-list). Same thing with the (IMO) much faster and more comfortable "recover" utility: http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/recover/download.php3 While it was doing a good job with ext2, it didn't find any deleted files with ext3 the first time I wanted to use it and the second time it caused a segfault. That is long ago (probably at the time of Enigma; I don't remember when I converted to ext3, probably when errata packages made it possible). There's an updated package which fixes a segfault, but no mention of any changes with regard to ext3. Hence I assume that Aaron wanted to point out that he has yet to find an undeletion utility which explicitly advertizes support for ext3. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE98Hkk0iMVcrivHFQRAghMAJ0Z7p+fuNqLl6Dre9GEC0827fu9UACfcpC7 swcBTSCO8a0EWvt1BdV0a8I= =b3s7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
