Hello, Thanks, that worked perfectly =) My actual idea is to not only read the partition, but to also recover deleted/corrupted files. With the information that you provided I advanced a lot in this direction, and I can now recover the file information in that memory area completely. I can also obtain the inode nr (well 4 bytes of it are preserved, but its better then nothing), but my current problem is with the inode itself. In a deleted file the following changes are done by the linux driver in the inode: xfs_dinode_core_t.di_mode was changed to zero xfs_dinode_core_t.di_format was changed from 1 (local) to 2 (extent) But di_mode in particular is a key element as I am using it to differentiate files from directories. Is there anything else what I can use to differentiate files from directories in case di_mode was corrupted? I am searching here but so far I didn't find anything... thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
