Very exciting to see photorec ported.
Any plans on getting this into the Extras repo?

Photorec was a 'life-saver' the other day

Awesome. =D
and yeah I never got around to getting it into Extras because when I tried autobuilder spit out a long error and that's annoying.

Testdisk also runs nicely under Easy-Debian.
( Just "apt-get install testdisk" as root in the chroot X Terminal.)
Might, for some, be an easier way.
It saved me a corrupt USB stick.

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:20.
Testdisk is useful for recovering missing partitions (particularly if the partition table has been wiped).
Photorec is useful for recovering individual files from deleted file-systems and etc.
INSTALLATION:
1.) Download these packages:
- libuuid1 (ver. 1.37)
- uuid-dev
- libncursesw5
- testdisk (includes photorec)
2.) Become root_^_ Those 3 packages are also available in Maemo Extras Devel
$ root
3.) cd to download directory
ex: # cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
4.) # dpkg -i libuuid1_1.37-2sarge1_armel.deb
5.) # dpkg -i uuid-dev_1.2-1.37-2sarge1_armel.deb
6.) # dpkg -i libncursesw5_5.4-3.osso1_armel.deb
7.) Either # dpkg -i testdisk_6.11-1_armel.deb
OR
Open testdisk_6.11-1_armel.deb with Application Manager and install.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
- Maximize osso-xterm, reduce text size to fit (if font size is 16 pt, then click "zoom out" key 4 times or so) as needed. Or use ROXterm.
- # cd /media/mmc1
- # testdisk /dev/mmcblk0
- # photorec /dev/mmcblk*
- Select partition (cursors keys and enter)
- Select Intel partition table scheme
- Select filesystem type
- Select filesystem group
Now presented with files in directory# testdisk
If it says "TestDisk needs 24 lines to work. Please enlarge the terminal" then you need to further reduce the text size.
# testdisk
it should now ask to create, append or quit logging. Select create.
it should now say no harddisk found (bug with tablet SD card detection)
(or # cd /media/mmc2 && testdisk /dev/mmcblk1)
substitute in device name as appropriate.
The same applies to photorec:
If wish to save to CDed directory press Y, if not press N to quit.
To navigate directories use left (back) and right (next) cursor keys.
P.S.
I'd also like to add that I found half a dozen songs on my SD card using photorec the other day that I had never seen before. No idea how or when they had been on the card but creeped out none-the-less.
