another resume question

#1 Post by sourdough »

I gathered from reading previous posts that I would need to edit photorec.ses and change the number towards the end of the second line and also to enter the sectors that I want the program to skip in the lines that follow. First I ran photorec to generate a .ses file. It gave me a file like this:

1019382-1019383
1021734-1465081855
Then I changed the sector number on the second line from 1012916 to 456643088 which is the last file that it found on the previous run. I also removed the last line 1021734-1465081855 because I figured I don't want it to skip to the end of the disk. However, when I run photorec, it offered to resume but couldn't start because of syntax error:

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I am running 7.0 on centos 6.
