disk image starting at a specific inode?

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi, I deleted some files on the command line and would like to learn if it's possible to recover them. It's not a terrible thing if they are gone, but I want to see what I can do. The server is configured as a hardware RAID5+1 (ext3, Debian Stable) and I *really* don't want to take a dd of the entire disk. ls -id gets me the inode value of the directory(155655) I'd like to create a disk image starting at that specific inode. Then there is the issue of picking an outer boundary of the disk image... I'm hoping there's a dd/ext3 genius out there to advise. (HowTos)

hardware monitoring 3 years 18 weeks ago

In AIX we use the errpt command to monitory the status of hardware. disk,cpu , power supplies, fans, memory etc.

I know syslogd and /vat/log messages has some information. I was thinking I might need to write a script to trap or words like error, failure etc.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Tired of not knowing anything except Windows. Bought a Dell mini with Ubuntu 8.04 installed on it and I'm working on learning Unix from the command line. This Forum ought to be helpful once I get a little further along.

I am running SUSE 11.1 on a 80Gig IDE HDD, I have added a 160 SATA HDD which I wish to use as storage. fdisk reports it as /dev/sda1 - W95 fat 32 LBA.

Its not in the repo's. Its not in anything online that actually works. If i download the pack i either have the older versions of required packages or I dont have them all together. Now i cant get on any of the servers I did before because they upgraded, and I cant.

Raid5 Online HDD Build Prob 3 years 14 weeks ago

hai,

for the troubleshooting of one server (having 73Gb 3HDD, Raid5 of 140Gb)

When I check in the Array The Logical Vol Appears as One HDD not Online

0 HDD1 1 HDD2 2 HDD3

0 HDD not showing Online, When we set it for Oneline & save, After restarting it will go off,

I have a directory that contains some files (over a 1,000) that have a '\' in the filename. There are also some good files that I need to keep. therefore I need a script to delete based on inode.

What I have thus far: list="$(ls -il /opt/PC/log/*RPOUT*.xml)" #this gives me the list # I need to get the inode of.
