Hello

Looking for help on this ():

I've got a PC with a 320GB hdd. And this is the partition structure:

sda1 - - - /boot - - - (200 MB) - - - Ext4 sda2 - - - swap - - (8 GB) - - - - - Swap sda3 - - - / - - - - - - (20 GB) - - - - Ext4 sda4 - - - /home - - - (270 GB) - - - Ext4

The HOME partition was corrupted. Then I plug the disk in another PC, via USB adapter, and ran:

fsck -t ext4 -fy /dev/sdb4

The partition was successfully mounted and all the files were recovered, but they appear in numbered folders, under folder.

--> Now my question: Is there any way I could recover the original folder structure? (there are plenty of files, and it is a huge task to re-catalog them in a new structure)

Thanks in advance Kyma

I doubt it will help, but you could try ext4magic. http://software.opensuse.org/package/ext4magic?search_term=ext4magic If you speak German, the main site is: http://openfacts2.berlios.de/wikide/index.php/BerliosProject:Ext4magic I think there is an english version of that page, but I don't know the url and I don't speak German, so I can't tell you what it says. If it learn anything about how ext4magic works, please create a opensuse wiki page for it and I'll add a link to it from the Digital Forensics portal: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Digital_Forensics_/_Incident_Response Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
