as i had mentioned yesterday, i had written a script some time ago that
dealt a little with this. i have since found it (or a version of it) in
dead tree form- so i retyped it and am sure there are several things wrong
with it.
i am not sure what all the components do anymore- i did not document it well
:P
now that i've looked at it, it's really for getting to files that are
unlinked etc..... so i am not sure it will do you any good.
to bring this more on topic, i would like to see what ways something like
this can be improved- it served useful to me in the past, but i'm sure it
can be made more useful:::
#!/usr/bin/perl
# added proper things when retyping it:
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use strict;
#-------------------
my $cfile = "/tmp/commands.file";
my $filesystem ="/dev/hda6";
my @path = ("/tmp/recover","","/recover","",".ebu"); #making a path to put
my $date="Oct"; #just files from October #stuff later
open (OUT,">$cfile");
print OUT "open $filesystem\n";# i wonder what this is for?
foreach (`/sbin/debugfs -R lsdel /dev/hda6`){#why did i hard code /dev/hda6?
#debugfs let's me list a bunch of inodes and i stick the list in a file
m/(\d+)/;
$path[3]=$1; #had to split this regex to dead with some edge case
$1=~m/(\d)/; # but i can't recall what....
$path[1]=$1;
my $quatch = join("",@path);
my $place= "path[0]$path[1]";
print OUT("dump <$path[3]> $quatch\n") if ((m/$date/));
`mkdir $place`;
}
-----------------
then i chmod 755 command.file? or is it a file used by another tool???
i just don't remember!!!
hope others can clarify?
it's funny about code... since i've written this, i've learnt how to
document things far more completely....
good lesson to learn!
