For data recovery on Windows and Ext2 file systems: R-Tools http://www.r-tt.com/ Tool to check and undelete partitions (not data) on: - FAT12 FAT16 FAT32 - Linux - Linux SWAP (version 1 and 2) - NTFS (Windows NT) - BeFS (BeOS) - UFS (BSD) - Netware - RaiserFS http://www.cgsecurity.org//testdisk.html The general opinions on unerasing are that its basically not possible on a ufs system, use AdvFS if this ability is required. However there is a utility at: ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/sysadm/recover.tar.Z [I found this did not resolve for me, but the URL below, did] http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/recover-files-after-rm/index.shtml Which may be able to trace remnants of files so long as the disk has not been written to. So I'll be playing with that. There is an undelete function in FBSD. This suggests that native FBSD data recovery should be possible. Writing the program or script to achive that end is beyond my abiity I'm afraid. -- Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
