General :: Recover From Deleted Ext2 Partition?

May 3, 2010

I was installing windows vista on my computer, so I backed up everything to a external drive which was formatted with ext2. I then proceeded to install windows vista. When I got to the partition section I tried installing windows vista to my raid 0. When it didn't work I decided that I would delete all my existing partitions and create a new one. Well in my haste I accidentally deleted my ext2 partition from my backup drive that was still connected. As soon as I realized what I had done I shutdown the windows install and disconnected my external drive. This is the current state of my drive from parted:

Model: WD 15EADS External (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 1500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

I know that the drive only had one partition before and that it took up the entire disk and it was ext2 (maybe ext3).

CentOS 5 :: Unable To Recover Deleted Files From Ext3 Partition?

Feb 10, 2011

I am using CentOS 5.5.I suppose this is an oft repeated question. I accidentally deleted, using rm command, 2 wmv files. The files were in a single ext3 1Tb drive, with just 1 partition --- the ext3 one. Each file is 600 - 800mb. The 1Tb drive has only about 20Gb data.Immediately after deleting the files i unmounted the drive (/dev/sdc1). Thereafter i searched the the net and came to know of the recovery tools foremost and photorec. I have installed both of them. I am currently running both of them as root --- foremost is just showing a lot of * signs on the terminal and photorec has managed to find some txt and png files --- but no wmv.For foremost i used: /usr/sbin/foremost -t wmv -i /dev/sdc1For photorec i followed some instructions available on the web.

In the meantime, based on some post on the net i ran debugfs as root, then cd into the directory where the files were deleted. Then on typing ls -d i managed to get the inodes of the 2 deleted files and the names of the deleted files are also correct. The instructions on the net http://www.theavidcoder.com/?p=3 tell me to run fsstat and dls both of which i am unable to find in /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. So i am unable to proceed further.

SUSE :: Deleted Grub Loader And Partition - Recover Boot To Load Windows 7?

Oct 25, 2010

I let a 'friend' use my laptop over the weekend. Now when I turn it on, it loads the BIOS details, then says no active partition, then no OS cannot be found.

It looks like they have deleted the partition with SuSE with the Grub Loader.

I cannot load up SuSE or Windows 7!

Any ideas on how to recover the boot to load Windows 7?

I have tried using the Windows 7 install disc to repair - but it does not recognise that Windows is installed and wants to do a clean install only.

Is it worth trying to reinstall SuSE and hope it detects Windows on the other partition? (I assume it is still there!)

I cannot get to a command prompt.

General :: Ext2-fs (sda1): Error: Ext2_Lookup: Deleted Inode Referenced 83359

Jul 18, 2011

1st. I lost my usb drives. Im using Puppy Studio(Lucid, Full HDD install, latest ver) on a Toshiba Satellite 2805-S201... My 1st Linux treasure... Anyway... I was recording audio thru audacity. Shutdown. L8r started and inserted a Flash drive and the icon never showed even though I used it hours prior with no issues. The drives are working fine meaning I can access the data on other devices. Now the newb... I cant find the USB info anywhere. i followed System-Status & Configure-Hardware info-Devices-USB devices and theres nothing there. The optical drive & sda1 are registered but the flash drives are not. Does it sound like my 2 USB ports are dead? My mouse & keyboard dont register either!

2nd. B4 today reboot was the only command I knew (so sad...) but I learned dmesg and tried that and dmesg reads

Ext2-fs (sda1): error: ext2_Lookup: deleted inode referenced 83359

Basically I now want to move my music but I have no working usb ports. And Its been frustrating trying to figure out what the dmesg means when today is the 1st time I opened a terminal!

General :: Recover Open But Deleted File Using Ln Instead Of Cp

Feb 16, 2011

Say I have a file that's downloading (from a source that's hard to re-download from), but accidentally deleted from the filesystem namespace (/tmp/blah), and I'd like to recover this file. Normally I could just cp /proc/$PID/fd/$FD /tmp/blah, but in this case that would only get me a partial snapshot, since the file is still downloading. Furthermore, once the download completes, the downloading process (e.g. Chrome) will close the FD. Any way to recover by inode/create a hard link? Any other solutions? If it makes any difference, I'm mainly concerned with ext4.

General :: Can't Delete The EXT2 Partition

Oct 31, 2009

I had to install a new disk drive in my PC a week ago because the old drive died. The new drive is a 160 gig drive. First I installed Win XP with S/P 3 and everything was fine. Then I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and the troubles began. Ubuntu resized the Windows partition down to 8.81 gig and used the other 137.44 gig for Ubuntu. When I booted into Windows I started getting nasty little messages about "not enough disk space". SOOoooo....... I booted using the Ubuntu install CD and ran "sudo gparted" in a terminal window. I tried to resize the ext2 partition but got an unknown error.

Then I ran fixmbr in Windows to get rid of grub. Then I tried running gparted again to delete the ext2 partition. Got an error that said "can't delete the partition because it's mounted". So I tried to unmount the partition but got a message that the command "unmount" could not be found. After that I installed Partition Magic in Windows and tried that. It sees the ext2 partition but says it's unsupported when I try to delete or resize it.

I ran fdisk but it doesn't see the Linux partitions either, so I can't delete them in that program. I finally tried to format the disk but now I have a 9 gig drive with nothing on it. How do I get those Linux partitions off the drive so I will have a 160 gig drive that I can start over with? I've spent 6 days this week reinstalling XP and all of my programs, and now everything is gone because Ubuntu decided to be a disk hog.

General :: Removing The RAID From An EXT2 Partition?

Aug 11, 2009

This might be a longshot but i used to use the 4 bay NAS here Which formated the HDD JBOD array to EXT2 , Anyway i want to move to an 8 bay DAS now but i cant find an application to convert the partitions .

Partition magic says the partitions are unformatted and the partition id is set to linux raid auto . Is there any way to convert this partition to vanilla EXT2 so i can use partition magic on it ? Its a 4TB array so copying isnt possible.

Fedora :: Recover Data From EXT2 Device (Card Or Image)

Dec 25, 2009

I was testing a bug in F12+Acer Aspire One and its 'suspend' feature (you can probably find the thread) and I ended with my SDHC card messed up. I formatted it as ext2 (or ext3, don't remember exactly) and apparently its superblock got corrupted. For one thing there is a single file I want to recover from the card (I don't mind formatting it afterwards). I am no expert using e2fsck or fsck, that's why I am asking here. In addition I used the "dd" command to create a backup of the drive in a file (so I can start tinkering with it). What is the best course of action to recover my files? Either from the card or from the image?

General :: Deleted Root Directory - How To Recover System Data

Feb 27, 2010

I have accidentally ended up in deleting my root directory while I blindly fired command while watching movie.

I fired following command
#rm -rf ~/<SPACE>*.out
instead of this command
#rm -rf ~/*.out

Things already done:
1) Created /root directory relogged to get some of basic settings of gnome and Desktop.
2) Things went well now when I login my desktop ,gnome environment and other things looks to be working well only prompt on my terminal has changed. I can fix it any ways.

Things I want to ask:
1) I haven't studied much about contents of /root directory to best of my knowledge is it like other user's home directory with some basic configuration files for mostly required applications. SO my question is have I lost any thing important system file or something?
2) If I have lost any important configuration or system data how can I recover it without reinstalling whole system? (My opinion about this is, It is quite possible but to do so, as far as I know capabilities of linux. But I still want comments from experts before I try any things on it because I don't want to backup my whole HDD and reinstall the whole stuff again for me and also my sister's stuff in MS.)

General :: Cannot Copy File Over 16,843,020 Kb On Ext2 Or Ext3 Partition

Aug 26, 2010

i m not able to copy a file over 16 gigs on an EXT2 or EXT3 partition. Is there a way to do this. I even tried to split my iso file too. I splitted my iso file in 4 files then copy them on the ext2 or ext3 partition. But as soon as I was trying to join the files together it never went over 16 gigs. Actually it stops at 16,843,020 kb exactly. is there a limit for those partitions or is there an another way to see my 20gigs iso file in one piece?

General :: Mounting Ext2 Partition With Write Permissions?

Oct 25, 2009

I need to mount my ext2 partition with write permissions for an average user. Right now, I can only write to the volume using sudo or the root account.

/etc/fstab:

Code:

# Filesystem: Mountpoint: Type: Options: Dump: FSCK:
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

[code]....

can't add the options uid=500,gid=500 to the ext2 volume because it says "bad option" I have 1 question. If you have a volume listed in /etc/fstab, and you try to mount it with different options than the ones listed in fstab, will it mount with the new options, or the fstab options?(e.x. if I try to mount /dev/sda6 with: mount-o auto,user,exec,rw,async. Will it mount with async or sync?)

General :: Create An Ext2 Partition From Command Line Which Is Writable From Every User

Nov 3, 2009

I work with a Debian Squeeze on my laptop and I have a 160GB external hard disk. My hard disk was formatted FAT32, but I decided to format it using ext2. I formatted it using fdisk from command line and everything went well. Unfortunately, when I mount my hard drive(which is auto-mounted from Debian) it has got root both as owner and group. Then I can't write to it because I have no permission to do that. Is there a setting to create an ext2 partition which has as owner the logged system user in order to have right permission every time.

General :: Recover A Deleted File Using The Ext3 File System?

Jan 10, 2011

I used the ext3 format when I formatted my partition prior to installing Ubuntu10.10. I had accidentally deleted a file and began the process to get it back. It wasn't critical but helpful to recover the file. To make a long story short I ran into to some unexpected road blocks. I tried to use PhotoRec to get the job done but with no success.

I'm just looking down the road in the event I might have to recover something important.If it would be better going back to the Fat32 file system I would rather do it sooner than later. Just as a side note I am dual booting between linux and windows.
