TestDisk 7.1
Mint Linux 20.0
I used TestDisk to successfully recover all but a few dozen files from a drive/disk image I made using this command:
testdisk OriginalWipdDrive.img
I was hoping to get a list of file names that could not be saved.
After I quit the program I did not see that in the testdisk.log in the directory where I executed the command.
I deleted the log, started TestDisk again, and retried on one file I knew the name of.
A new testdisk.log file was not created.
I noticed when I reran
testdisk OriginalWipdDrive.img
I could not get back to the screen where you can choose to create or append a log file.
I also noticed, thankfully, that TestDisk did not start analyzing all of the cylinders in OriginalWipdDrive.img ( 1T image, it took hours ). It had saved its work.
Is there any way I can create a new testdisk.log, retry the sub directories where files failed to copy, and get a list of the filenames that did not copy over?
I can't create a new log file

Re: I can't create a new log file
I don't know. Please check your profile folder and the folder that containts the img-file.
Please check if writing rights available.
Maybe you could run your linux from a USB stick to see if that makes a difference.
