Retrieve inode for undeleted files
Posted: 14 Mar 2013, 22:09
Hi,
I have successfully undeleted a large number of text files. In order to identify the file without the filename I will need a reference date for modification, creation, etc. Unfortunately this information is not retained by default by Photorec as evidenced by the 'stat' command run on a file. However, I can recover this date information if I have the corresponding inode (using istat).
Does anyone know how to dump the inode number to the filename or a log when undeleting a file? Is this an option in photorec?
Or
Is it possible to keep a file's metadata (date of access, modification, etc) when undeleting?
Thanks for any advice!
