<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> extcarve, fails to recover any of my files, it is keeping print messages like this: no header <a href="http://found.at" target="_blank">found.at</a> all Searching Unused block 415494 which contains non-zero data: no header <a href="http://found.at" target="_blank">found.at</a> all Searching Unused block 415495 which contains non-zero data: I saw almost a million of such lines. </blockquote><div> It will scan for unused/deleted blocks (415494, 415495 etc). While scanning It throws out such output messages. When I finds valid header+footer it saves them on external drive. As of now, extcarve can recover only limited non-fragmented files of type png,jpg,gif,html,c/cpp/php,pdf .(recoverd filename will begin with extcarve<random-char>.extenstion) current version of tool ,will not recover a partial files - It needs to be find both header and footer. extcarve it still running or completed ? If its completed and didn't recover any files ,then possible reason would be - 1).Deleted files are fragmented,so extcarve can't find footer. 2).Deleted files doesn't belong to currently supported file types. 3).Or simply extcarve has a bug,that needs to fixed. :P -- </div></div>---- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G FOSS Programmer. <a href="http://www.giis.co.in">www.giis.co.in</a>
