Firstly it got corrupted, so i ran e2fsck on it.

Re: [ilugd] ext3 file format
I am ready to shed my pockets for my emails, but i want someone real expert who can do it. Is anyone of you know a real linux recovery expert? Also, how much will he charge?? 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/

This was discussed at foss.in, and amongst ourselves, and has also found support from the NRCF, etc. It might even be possible to find funding for part of the time for someone developing and maintaining such a site. The site itself will most likely be hosted at linux-india. We are planning to meet at 7pm tomorrow, 18/1, at Raj Mathur's place to discuss this. The address is BB3/G, DDA flats, Munirka, and is quite close to the main Munirka highway. Please feel free to contact me for directions.

Certainly it might now work on all platforms its just the BASH version, but atleast it allows identification of a stock RH/Fedora installation. Likewise, /etc/issue.net can be changed anytime, but atleast it allows you to identify a system in some cases. There can be zillion of other things that dont have a set strategy...

Re: [ilugd] [Fwd: Re: [svlug] How to tell which flavor of Linux is installed?]
There are a gazillion ways to check your distro version - the easiest one being that the previous sysadmin or the box owner tells you. Sometimes that is not possible. /etc/issue.net is *one* of the ways to find the distribution - though not the only one.
