Public bug reported:
I'm attempting to recover files into a directory called 'recovered'.
When I run:
$ recoverjpeg sdd.img -o recovered/
it says:
recoverjpeg: unable to open sdd.img for reading (No such file or
directory)
which is objectively not true:
$ ls -l
totaal 7561512
drwxrwxr-x 2 robin robin 4096 jul 16 21:21 recovered
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7742685184 jul 16 21:18 sdd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 294 jul 16 21:18 sdd.log
running it with strace shows what's going on:
chdir("recovered/") = 0
open("./sdd.img", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "recoverjpeg: unable to open ./sd"..., 78recoverjpeg: unable to open
./sdd.img for reading (No such file or directory)
) = 78
exit_group(1) = ?
it should open the file for reading, and then chdir.
Obvious workaround: use the absolute path to the file you're recovering
from. Still, I could see this confusing the heck out of someone who
doesn't know how to drive strace :)
