Re: Deleted VAR

2003-01-07 Thread Goedeke Michels
There is a tool supposed to be able to do this:
/usr/ports/sysutils/ffsrecov

However, it does not work for me, complaining about some missing magic. 
Maybe you have more luck.
There is also an undelete (2) routine, however, I am not aware of any 
program that uses it. In case you have any success (besides 
reinstalling), please let me know, since I am in a similar position.
Of course you should not write to that partition, since old (now 
deleted) stuff may get overwritten and will be beyond recovy. If there 
is any, at all, that is. google was not too helpful about this.



Help, I accidently deleted everything in the /var dir. ( fat fingered ).
Is there a way to retrive it? or do i have to reinstall.
I'm now getting alot of error message since it's also a mail server. well
not anymore.

Thanks.

Re: Cyrus-SASL and OpenLDAP

2003-01-05 Thread Goedeke Michels
Depends on your needs. Do you need LDAP as a SASL backend ? Most likely 
not. You probably want LDAP to make use of SASL, not the other way 
round. So you build SASL first and then LDAP. You can't have it both 
ways, I believe.

These two apps both have compile time options to include support for
each other, but this quickly becomes a chicken or the egg question.

My instinct tells me to install SASL first, without LDAP, then install
LDAP with SASL, and then go back and reinstall SASL with LDAP.

Anyone else run into this circle?

Thanks

undelete or ffsrecover

2002-12-23 Thread Goedeke Michels
Hello,

First of all, if this is the wrong group, please redirect me to a more 
appropiate place.

I am trying to recover some files I have accidentally deleted. However, 
ffsrecov continuously complains about a corrupt super block and misssing 
magic. The filesystems are ok, however (as long as you trust fsck) and 
mount without problems.
I've also come across undelete(2), but since I have no clue about C, I 
did not get very far with this (just put a main() { ... } around the 
example. Compiled, but did not do anything).
I am running 4.7 stable (~week old) with soft-updates enabled 
filesystems on an intel box.

Most info I found on the web said no chance, but have been quite old 
and the appearance of an undelete function raised some hope.

Is there any way of getting those files back ? There has been no write 
activity on that partition since and now its mounted read-only. I do 
have the inode of the parent folder (which contents I am missing) and 
the names of the top level files and directories.

Thanks for any help
