Q: How can I recover (undelete) deleted files from my ext3 partition?
Actually, you can't! This is what one of the developers, Andreas Dilger, said about it:
In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas
ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks the inode as "deleted" and leaves the block pointers alone.
Your only hope is to "grep" for parts of your files that have been deleted and hope for the best.
OTOH, a friend of mine administering a Linux server was too busy bragging about his non-stop uptime to upgrade to a non-exploitable version of Apache and got his site defaced. Twice.
thats all fine and good, but there are some inconsistencies here.
unlike IIS, apache doesn't need a reboot to upgrade. install the latest apache and then restart apache. no need for uptime loss, since the machine is up. at the most you have a service interruption for http, but no more.
sir, i think u are a troll, since no competent GNU/Linux admin will ever reboot a machine after upgrading apache. the above statement can only be possible when a windows only person makes up the above scenario.
also, getting a site defaced is not that bid of a deal, versus an Admin exploit. that is why unix is superior, the crackers only defaced the site. if the same happened to windows, they'd have admin access.
if i was given windows boxes to administer, there would be people breaking in left right and center since i don't know how to secure a windows box. my meaning is, you need a good admin to secure ANY box. doesn't matter what system the hardware is running.
Oppenheim: Look at what Judge John Bates said in the Verizon case: "If an individual subscriber opens his computer to permit others, through peer-to-peer file-sharing, to download materials from that computer, it is hard to understand just what privacy expectation he or she has after essentially opening the computer to the world."
sounds like we cannot have privacy at our homes next; my living room is open to most people who care to drop by, so its hard to understand what privacy expectation I have, and let people roam the entire house. people can walk into my bedroom or anywhere else.
been to a shopping mall lately? don't mind entering the "Authorized Personnel Only"; coz after the mall authorities have opened up the building to essentially the whole world what privacy can they expect? dammit, why stop at malls, go ahead and do that at every public building.
why can't he understand that i _can_ allow access to specific files/folders in most P2P apps.
thats a nice slogan! i mean with linux u can customze EVRYTHING! while with Micro$not u get what they say u get....."Where will we take u today?"
hahaha!
the only thing is that i find the halloween papers a bit scary. coz 'they' have realized the power of opensource....!
may the source be with u!
