Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove.
Hm, are you sure you can use xfsdump/xfsrestore for this?
xfsdump/xfsrestore can't do the recovery.
I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime.
Mount the image with the option '-o ro' as read-only.
Depending on the kind of data you removed you could use 'testdisk' or 'photorec' to recover. Make sure to only use a copied image to test.
Thanks for your advice. I will try the tools.
I also found the article about how to create and mount image.
https://midnightprogrammer.net/post/create-mount-and-unmount-img-files-in-ub...
The article says, the image file created by dd should formated in ubuntu.
For Centos, should I format the image file before mounting it as virtual read-only disk?
Thanks!
Regards
andrew
