recovering lost data
Hi Everyone, I have a question in regards to file recovery, to be precise, recovering an entire directory [with files] that may have been deleted/moved. /usr1 FreeBSD Unix Filesystem (ufs) /dev/ad1s1d Yes Yes 2nd level directory on /usr1, /usr1/AudioDrive/spoken I had a quick peek at 'foremost', but have had no luck with the config side of things. the files were almost all MP3 format, and from what i understand MP3's dont have much in the way of headers making this utility crippled. anyone familar with this utility or similar? /anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

lost data
I made a very stupid mistake. Ran an fsck from netbsd on a freebsd partition. Thought it was running on the net disk. It fixed a bunch of errors. After I realized what I did freebsd would not boot. So I ran fsck from fbsd. I now have a lost+found directory that is way too small, at least 16GB unaccounted for. Files are stored as inode # I think. example: #0354382. I restored a few different superblocks. nothing. I'm running gpart on it now... I don't think its going to help. Any ideas or tools that will help?

The block size on a CD is 2048. You need to tell that to tar. I think you can do it with the -b option. Fixating would definitely be a good idea, in any case; I'm not sure it's necessary, but I would expect it to be. Not sure if it has anything to do with not blanking or erasing the new CD-RWs first or not adding fixate to the burncd command, but planning to always now just burn and thoroughly test ISOs for even one file, and only desperately seeking to first recover this data any which way. dd if=/dev/acd0c of=archive.tar.gz bs=2048 You shouldn't need to do that, but it won't really hurt either, aside from a small space wastage. Whatever you do, though, TEST YOUR BACKUPS BEFORE YOU NEED THEM. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
possibly lost data by Burning Raw Data CDs
Greetings; Was running FreeBSD 5.1 Release on a Dell Inspiron 8500 with a CD-RW/DVD Combo drive and backed up data onto several new CD-RWs simply as follows: burncd -s max data archive.tar.gz Then after installing FreeBSD 5.2 Release, tried restoring as follows: tar -xvzf /dev/acd0 And unfortunately ended up with only error messages such as input/output, unexpected end of archive/file and child returned status 2 from all the CD-RWs too. Not sure if it has anything to do with not blanking or erasing the new CD-RWs first or not adding fixate to the burncd command, but planning to always now just burn and thoroughly test ISOs for even one file, and only desperately seeking to first recover this data any which way.
