Does testdisk run on linux/armv5tejl?
I am attempting to recover lost data on a seagate drive running armv5tejl GNU/Linux. Will testdisk work? Currently I have installed 386 version and extracted all the files, but I get "bash: ./testdisk_static: cannot execute binary file". Any help? (pretty new to linux)

You will need to recompile TestDisk for this processor. Decompress the source file, run
Another possibility is to put the disk on a PC and run TestDisk from your usual OS.
Code: Select all
./configure && make && make installRe: Does testdisk run on linux/armv5tejl?
Thanks for your prompt reply. Decompressing and recompiling is beyond my skill level with Linux. I cannot move the disk to windows as it is an networked/external (GOFLEX) device. I used to have back-ups and photos, but now I don't "see" any. If anyone has ideas on recovery, I would like to hear them.
