inode_nnnn filenames on all files
Posted: 12 Aug 2015, 10:39
First thank you for taking the trouble to create this program, which has good reports from everywhere.
I have the following setup. My main computer is running OSX Mavericks (10.9). On my router I have a USB disk with, I believe an NTFS partition. I had a directory on the router disk called Cloud, which was intended as the family's personal Cloud. I made what I thought was a symlink to this directory on my main computer. The procedure did not appear to go successfully, and I deleted the symlink, which apparently deleted the directory on the router disk.
Now I am trying to recover the files on the router disk, which I have connected to my computer rather than doing everything over the network. When I list deleted files, each of them has a name inode_nnnn, I can see the dates of the files, and some indication of the size, but I have no idea which is which. I do not get the easy file name and directory structure in the wiki.
I have three questions.
1. My router used some variant of linux. Can I connect the disk to a linux box and hope to see the file names?
2. Can I run testdisk over the network, so that I reattach the router disk to the router and try to recover from there? Since the target disk must be unmounted, this is presumably not feasible.
3. What other alternatives do I have which may allow me to see the file names?
Thanks in advance for any help.
