Subject: DEBUGFS - thanks and a feature idea
|
||||||
|
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Theodore:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, let me thank you for writing debugfs. Recently, my Linux box
|
||||||
|
(RH 6.0, 400 MHz PIII, on a DSL line) was hacked into. The intruder did
|
||||||
|
an "rm -Rf" on a 34 GB drive with about 5GB of data on it. I was able to
|
||||||
|
restore essentially the entire thing with debugfs and a bit of C code and Perl.
|
||||||
|
Actually, I could have done the entire thing with debugfs and Perl, but I
|
||||||
|
thought it would be too slow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During this exercise, I noticed that one small feature was lacking that would
|
||||||
|
have made my job a bit easier. The length of a deleted directory is
|
||||||
|
reported as 0, hence debugfs won't dump the contents of the directory to a
|
||||||
|
file using the "dump" command. The only thing that saved me was that the
|
||||||
|
list of disk blocks is not zeroed out. I was able to dump the contents of the
|
||||||
|
directories by using debugfs to get the relevant block numbers, then
|
||||||
|
using dd to get the actual data.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If debugfs had a feature where it ignored the size of a directory reported by
|
||||||
|
the inode and instead just dumped all the blocks, it would have facilited
|
||||||
|
things a bit. This seems like a very easy feature to add.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Again, thanks for writing debugfs (and all the other Linux stuff you've written!).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cheers,
|

|
a) An option to mkfs to run badblocks in read/write mode. The
|
||||||
|
filesystem is blank, so this is the perfect time to run the read/write
|
||||||
|
test.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b) An option to mkfs to zero the partition. Yes, it can be done with
|
||||||
|
dd, but it would be a nicer way of doing it.
