Hello, I am working to recover the data, i tried grep and dd method to recover the data, i am able to recover the text of emails. is there any way, such i can recover the complete files??? like, i am grepping to find a pattern, from that getting the offset and then using dd on it, can i do the same but instead of using pattern, i want to use filename. Say i have a file called nitin.txt, so i want to recover it as a whole, is anything possible with it?? I googled throughout the day, but didnt found any effective method? I did tried some softwares and methods, but nothing worked out.
Hope to hear from you guys. :) Regards, Nitin Saurabh Nanda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am ready to shed my pockets for my emails, but i want someone real > expert who can do it.

If e-mails (text only) is your primary concern I *think* the following solution might work: o You have run mke2fs on the corrupted partition o I am assuming that you have not yet written any fresh data on that partition o Which means that your data is still on the disk but is not logically organized in files and directories anymore o Run the following command on the partition and sift through *large* volumes of data to recover your mail root# cat /dev/hda7|strings|less Disclaimer: Please don't blame me if this doesn't work. In case it does, just pass on the 'pocket shedding' this side :-) HTH Nandz. -- http://nandz.blogspot.com http://foodieforlife.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ --------------------------------- Yahoo!
