Re: hex editors, disk info
That in mind, what's wrong with bpatch? I've used it for binary patching, it works just fine that that (if my first assumption is totally off-base). You download from the device, change any required data, and (if the device allows writes) write it back to the device. Of course, not all devices allow writes. It's a bit uncomfortable. Just for example: I need to search some signatures, which could be anywhere in 640Gb disk, and make some changes around them. And I don't have spare 640+ Gb to copy whole disk to. And even if I would have enough space, it is painfully slow to move 640Gb twice just to make ten minutes editing. ___ 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
hex editors, disk info
Friends, I need a hex editor able to work directly with disks, preferably those, which can be started without X. I tried hexcurse, chexedit, bpatch - and it seems that they are unable to open /dev/something. Also, I would like to know about a tool to show low-level disk information. For example, how can I see a number of sectors available? ___ 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

Have you tried /usr/bin/hd? It seems it doesn't have any problem opening disk devices. Bruce, hd is suitable for viewing only.
