Stuck and loop
Posted: 14 Nov 2018, 17:03
Hi,
I've searched the forum and found that several has same problem as I. I start
PhotoRec (on a raw file made with dd on Linux). After a few minutes it hangs
and just update one file. Heres a small shell script that just lists the file
every other second. You see how the file just keeps overwriting itself.
$ while true;do LANG=en ls -lart recup_dir.12/f6287024.lnk;sleep 2;done

From shell with PhotoRec in the row with "Pass 1" is updating the first number
but not the files so it seems that it is stuck there. The position with number
"6288942" keeps changing but bounces back and forward between ruffly 6200000
and 6300000. Not really sure how high and how low.
