It is. These tools work in a non-destructive way, this means their (eventually failing) attempts to recover data do not do any damage to the original (defective) disk. The defective disk isn't repaired, that would be too dangerous to try. I would even mention to first make a 1:1 dd copy of the defective FAT partition and using those tools with the copy, not with the original. > msdos fat32 file system has a backup fat table as stated in the docs. Do > any of the sectors rescue programs read the backup fat table? dd_rescue - No, does simply copy the partition 1:1. ddrescue - The same. sleuthkit - Usually work on a lower level. formost - Works on a lower level and extracts data files by magic. autopsy - Offers a "server" for forensic browsing. fatback - Kind of "undelete tool", no. The TSK's tools dls, fls and ils don't seem to offer the option in question. I read about using alternate superblocks, but that refers to the UFS file system and not the 2nd FAT. Maybe it's possible to exactly locate and extract this backup FAT first and then replace the defective FAT with this copy, using tools like dd? > Not interested in the XP system or programs directors.

From the manuals of the programs listed above that mention such a functionality, there's no word about "Adobe Pagemaker". Would it have been generic files (such as JPG files for images, TeX / text files for text), or some kind of ODF archive, it would be much easier. > What are the general steps I need to do to recover data from this msdos > FAT32 disk with corrupted fat table and maybe corrupted data? First, copy the partition: % ddrescue /dev/ad0s2 fat.dd I'm not sure how the msdosfs formatted disk / the FAT partition will show up as device file in FreeBSD. In the result, you can unplug the disk / remove it and only work with the copy. Then, you can start extracting data from it, for example with % mkdir retrieve % foremost -i fat.dd -v -o retrieve -t all The manpage of foremost has some examples, too. The manpage of fatback isn't great, "info fatback" has more details. For TSK, use something like this: % dls -t raw -f fat -v fat.dd I've got no FAT partitions (defective or intact) at hand so I cannot check if this really works as I think it should. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Maybe make a mydos group and only put users in that you want to be able to r/w the mydos slice instead of everybody and then chown it to root:mydos would seem 'safer' if there are a bunch of users on the machine. jerry > > >Jerry McAllister wrote: > >>On Fri, Mar 02, 2007 at 05:14:14PM -0600, Michael G. wrote: > >> > >>>OK, I've scoured the archives for an answer with no results.

Shell script cannot run on FAT32 partition
Hello!
I have this nice renaming script here.
It sanitizes badly named parts of files and folders.
But when I run it on my FAT32, dual boot transition partition (hehe), it causes
my computer (Pentium 4, 3,2 GHz) to freeze. I vaguely remember seeing some
message before it freezes saying "Locking from myself" or something like that,
this is not recorded into /var/log/messages.
It is very annoying actually because to rename a bunch of files I first have to
copy them to my UFS2 partition, run the script, and then copy them back to the
FAT32 partition.
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks!

FAT32 Partition?
I'm having problems accessing a shared FAT32 partition in FreeBSD 5.3. When I try to mount the partition, it says: bad FAT32 filesystem. I'll explain what I'm trying to do, and what I've tried. I have one hard drive, and I'm trying to get Windows XP Pro, FreeBSD 5.3, and Fedora on it. I want to have one FAT32 partition that is shared between all three operating systems. Here's the steps I've followed. - Install Windows XP Pro create a primary partition, NTFS - Install FreeBSD 5.3 create a primary partition, UFS2 - Install Fedora manually partition with disk druid, create a boot partition, FAT partition, and swap drive Here's what the partitions look like to Fedora. hdc1 ntfs (Primary) hdc2 bsd (Primary) hdc3 / ext3 (Primary) hdc4 Extended hdc5 /share vfat hdc6 swap When tried this way, the FAT32 partition is created by Fedora. The partition can be read + written to in Windows XP, and Fedora. In FreeBSD I can't mount it. Can FreeBSD 5.3 read FAT32 partitions on extended partitions? When I create the FAT32 partition as a primary partition I can read and write to it in FreeBSD fine. Does anyone have advice on how I can do this. If so let me know. Thanks.

RTFM (mount_msdos(8)), but the easy thing is to change the permissions on the mount point. Keep in mind, though, that *all* users will have the same access unless you play games with the group ownership of the mount point.

RE: Mounting large FAT32 partition truncates filesystem?
Win2k has a limitation when it comes to FAT32, it will not format/deal with partitions that are larger than a set number which I believe is roughly 30gig. This is not a limitation of FAT32, just a limit with Win2k and FAT32. It should also be noted that with large partitions or lots of files, FAT32 performance rapidly degrades. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@;FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Ceri Davies > Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 3:45 AM > To: William Rose > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Mounting large FAT32 partition truncates filesystem? > > > On Fri, Nov 01, 2002 at 11:22:00PM +1100, William Rose wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I recently tried to mount a FAT32 file system (formatted to 80GB, > > under Windows 2K) under FreeBSD.

Hi, I recently tried to mount a FAT32 file system (formatted to 80GB, under Windows 2K) under FreeBSD. The only problem is that the filesystem has been truncated to 20GB! Now, booting into Windows shows it has also been truncated. Help!

I know it's documented somewhere but I'm too lazy to look right now. I
know for a fact if you search the archives you'll find more detail.
The short answer is that FAT32 has no concept of permissions there's not
way to 'change them' on a per file/dir basis. When you mount a FAT{32}
partition it'll inherrit the permissions of the mount point. So
chown/chmod that directory and re-mount.

Re: How to chmod on FAT32 partition?
Since FAT32 has no concept of users and only a rudimetary concept of file meta-data (permission bits, etc) all files will be owned by the owner of the directory on which it is mounted. You can make the entire filesystem contents own by one particular user and/or group. Read mount_msdos(8) HTH, - Mike Hogsett > > OK, got disk up.

Re: Can't mount my fat32 partition
Are you running Windows 2000? It looks like you have an NTFS partition on ads02, which would probably be your C: drive in Windows. Is that what you are trying to mount? If so, you really need: mount -tntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt which will mount that drive read-only (NTFS is not writable yet, AFAIK) OR did you create a different FAT32 partition? If you created your own separate FAT32 partition, did you create a logical partition, IN the extended partition? if so, try: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV ad0s5 mount_msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt Hope that helps, -Matt On Fri, 2002-09-20 at 13:57, twig les wrote: > Hey all, for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble > mounting a fat 32 partition, even though the book I > have and the web site I found both said that it's a > snap.

Hey all, for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble mounting a fat 32 partition, even though the book I have and the web site I found both said that it's a snap. The man page didn't help and a google search didn't either so here goes. I keep getting an invalid argument response when I try to mount my windoze partition (as root): L# mount_msdos /dev/ad0s3 /mnt mount_msdos: /dev/ad0s3: Invalid argument Here is my hard drive according to fdisk: Disk name: ad0 FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 1467 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 23567355 sectors (11507MB) Offset Size(MB)End Name PType Desc SubtypeFlags 0 0 62- 6 unused0 63 29966136829ad0s1 1 NTFS/HPFS/QNX7 6136830 5498 17398394ad0s2 3 freebsd 165C 17398395 3012 23567354ad0s3 4 extended 15 23567355 5 23579135- 6 unused0 And here is my OS: L# uname -a FreeBSD L.liza.com 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Sep 16 13:41:26 PDT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FW.safe i386 As you can see, fdisk (and partition magic 5.0) thinks that the fat32 partition is extended, but it is numbered as 3, when extended partitions are supposed to start at 5 (so I've read). Well ad0s5 doesn't exist and ad0s3 is clearly the 3gig fat32 I just formatted. Please help a poor confused soul. = --- Heavy metal made me do it. --- __ Do you Yahoo!?
