Re: [ydl-gen] FileSystem Remount Readonly Issue - Help Please
Derick, Thanks. Foremost looks like an interesting tool. Listen, I couldn't get the second URL to work.

I will see if I can find a spare drive that has enough disk space to do a dd image of the partition. I've already tried using the debugfs command but when I navigated to the parent directory of that which has been deleted and typed ls -d nothing other than the existing files/directories were returned. So far I have not been able to recover anything. I'm thinking of trying adding the drive to a WinXP system and using an undelete tool that supports the ext3 filesystem to attempt to recover the deleted directory and its contents. Many thanks again.

Re: [ydl-gen] FileSystem Remount Readonly Issue - Help Please
Interesting Brian, they are different and yet end up on the same page. At least you can see what's there. By the way after I compiled foremost within YDL 6.2 it wouldn't run. It reported a segmentation fault, I found a resolution here: http://sourceforge.net/users/colling2/ Modify the dir.c file as instructed and it should run fine. In fact foremost is currently executing several searches for me. All the best... On Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:33:06 -0500 Brian A. Levine br...@brianallenlevine.name wrote: Derick, Thanks.

Re: [ydl-gen] FileSystem Remount Readonly Issue - Help Please
Can anyone please help? A user has just inadvertently deleted a folder of work from an SMB share stored on an ext3 partition on a YDL 3.0 system running on an Apple G3 BW tower. I have just unmounted the partition with a view to remounting the partition as readonly in an effort to try to recover the data, as I found the overnight backup failed last night! However when I try any of the following mount commands: mount -o ro,remount /home/Lnx_CAD2 mount -o remount,ro /home/Lnx_CAD2 mount -t ext3 -o remount,ro /dev/sdb5 /home/Lnx_CAD2 mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb5 mount -o remount,ro -t ext3 /dev/sdb5 /home/Lnx_CAD2 I get the following error: mount: /home/Lnx_CAD2 not mounted already, or bad option Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you already umounted it, then you just want to mount it read-only, not remount it, i.e. mount -o ro /home/Lnx_CAD2 The remount option is for if the file system is already mounted, and you want to change its usage, typically from ro to rw, which I've used from a single user boot. -Hope this helps -Bill ___ yellowdog-general mailing list - yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try 'lt;keywords site:us.fixstars.com'
