| |
Hello all,
Does kernel 2.0.35 still zero out the indirect, doubly-indirect and triply-indirect blocks when deleting files?
One of the HOWTOs (http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html) suggested that the later 2.0.x kernels (later == 2.0.31 or greater) would keep the indirect blocks intact.
I am trying to recover my magnum opus, which I recently recursively deleted. I've been able to recover all of the files of size <= 12 blocks, and now I'm working on the larger files.
Would you mind CC'ing me personally in addition to replying to the list. Thank you for reading my post, and sharing any information you think might be helpful.
