Is that the expected output?
No, not really. Looks like you're starting the source or something?
Here's how it's supposed to look:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ tar -jxvvf recoverpics-1.6.tar.bz2
| -rw-r- mb/users 13294 2004-02-28 07:08:36 recoverpics/recoverpics.c
| drwxr-x--- Creating directory: recoverpics
| -rwxr-xr-x mb/users542 2004-02-27 16:13:03 recoverpics/checkpics.sh
| -rw-r- mb/users140 2004-02-27 16:10:04 recoverpics/Makefile
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd recoverpics/
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/recoverpics $ make
| cc -O2 -finline-functions -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
| recoverpics.c -orecoverpics
| strip recoverpics
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/recoverpics $ ./recoverpics
| Usage: recoverpics file [offset] [max-output-size]
Then you should be able to run it as ./recoverpics /dev/sda or
something.
good luck :)

[gentoo-user] Corrupt xD card with photos
Hi All, I was handed what seems to be a corrupt xD flash card to extract the last photo from it. When the WinXP system at work coughed and died on it (couldn't read it) I thought that my Linux would do better. Anyhow, I've inserted it into my Fuji camera and this is what dmesg shows: === usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 4 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: FUJIFILM Model: USB-DRIVEUNIT Rev: 1.00 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 SCSI device sda: 256000 512-byte hdwr sectors (131 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 07 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 256000 512-byte hdwr sectors (131 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 07 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: unknown partition table sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete Mount fails: $ mount /dev/sda mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so and dmesg then shows: FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.
