I do not know if that list is the proper one but....
i have by mistake overwritten one file by the empty one. Very important
one. That was - home.tar so i am very interested in restoring that file.
File was on a single disk which was not used afterwards, filesystem: ext2,
filesize about 370 MB. I have found nice tool: R-linux on the net which i
have used to read disk sector by sector. Then i localised beginnig of the
file (which was actually the first file written to that partition) and
beginning of the next file (which was also tar archive). Then i used tool
for writing all sectors between the begining of the header of lost file
and begining of the header of the next one - I have written all those
sectors to the file lost.bin on the other disk. I looked through it and
realized that it, in general, looked like a regular tar file - so I have
renamed it to back.tar and tried to untar. I got just few of the files,
and even these were not whole. Although, when i look through it i can see
ALL files inside. I think it is possible to do every single file manually
- but it is quite a lot of files so....
when i tried -i option in tar (ignore zeros) then i got all files but
these were not whole - just first parts.
Does anyone have any idea what to do????
