 No. Consider yourself lucky that you are able to recover that much.

 It is, in general, not possible to recover a file from the name if the
 file system has been remade. The suggested method of dd is the 
 best you can do, and if your old filesystem was not too fragmented,
 you should be able to get back most of your data in this manner.

 Hello! Are you reading any of the replies? First of all, learn how to trim
 the excess material if you are replying to a digest. You have been asked
 to do this before, and I for one, will not bother to reply to any more of your
 emails unless you follow this elementary courtesy.
   Secondly, several people have followed up on how to enable kudzu, and
 other ways of getting your card recognized. Please look through the archives
 if you somehow missed these replies. chkconfig is used to enable services,
 do "/sbin/chkconfig kudzu on" as root, and reboot to start kudzu. "man
 chkconfig" for details.

 Gora

Re: [ilugd] ext3 file format

[Nitin Gupta]

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. :)

 Nitin

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

You only need to copy the specific blocks where your mail folder is.
That's why you use the -b flag to fgrep (to find out the byte offset
where your text was found).  Once you have the byte offset, the
chances are that the rest of the mail file will also be around there
somewhere.

So you convert the byte offset to a block number and use dd with the
options I'd given you to extract the file from the partition.  Blindly
giving commands that you find on the 'net isn't going to do much for
you.

You'll have to read, work, think and apply.  There's no silver bullet.

Re: [ilugd] through squid windows vpop3 is not able to downloads mails

[SWAPNIL]

Hi,

you need to create some firewall rules. dont change any squid configuration,
recently we faced same problem (not for mail server it was for remote
desktop connection from outside to our network)

just do the following steps
1)ebable packet forwarding from editing /etc/sysctl.conf file (first
option only dont change any other options)
2)load kernal modules from /etc/rc.local refer following lines and make
as it is.

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
# Module to track the state of connections
modprobe ip_conntrack
# Load the iptables active FTP module, requires ip_conntrack
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
# Load iptables NAT module when required
modprobe iptable_nat
# Module required for active an FTP server using NAT
modprobe ip_nat_ftp

3)Start iptables service at statup using following command : >> setup >>
system services >> select iptables >> ok >> restart system.

4)now you need to create rule for outgoing packets.
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -s <> -d <>  -j MASQUERADE
this command will create temporary rule for your server if you want
permanant then you can save this rule to /etc/sysconfig/iptables file using
following command. This saved iptables file will refer by iptables service
at next restart of your linux system.

service iptables save

VPOP3 uses the POP3 protocol whereas Squid proxies HTTP/HTTPS protocol.
VPOP3 can not work with Squid.

[ilugd] Which is the best distro for 64 bit

[sanjay]

Hi,
Which is the best distro available for running 64 bit kernel? I'm having 
Acer Aspire 5002 NWLi based on AMD Turion.

I've had intial problems in installing 32 bit linux as well. Will be 
greatful if you could help on them...
1. FC4 is not going beyond partition step. It says unable to send few 
Kernel parameters to one of the partions.
Same problem appeared on my AMD Athon based PC (runs SATA hdd). But, 
installed fc4 on my pentium
based workstation without any problem!! Any idea what could be the 
problem?
2. Then I picked up Mandrakelinux 10.1 for my laptop (acer turion), and 
it installed without any issues. Problem
comes in starting the KDE(or any desktop). Problem seemed to be 
around setting up the resolution.
I tried using xf86cfg and could set a max of 856x480 resolution. My 
laptop supports 1024x800 resultion though.

regards
Sanjay
