A dead partition or a corrupted partition table will
still have intact files in them whereas deleted files
have their property records destroyed thus rendering
them difficult to recover.
For example, if an area map is destroyed, the
individual house records are still available but if
the house records are destroyed, the area map is
blank.
R-Linux works on debugfs that reads file inodes and
their block records but I need a sniffer that can read
pariah blocks and try to patch files from them.
