[sleuthkit-users] dls linux-ext3 error

[Gary M. W. <wit...@so...>]

Hi:

I am trying to recover some deleted files on partition hda6.
I created an image using this command:

dls -v -f linux-ext3 /dev/hda6 > /mnt/usb/output

But when I tried to stat the image I get this error:

debian:# fsstat -f linux-ext3 /mnt/usb/output
fsstat: Error: /mnt/usb/output is not an EXT2FS file system

Well of course it's not an ext2 system. It's a ext3 system. Am I going to have to redo this image as an ext2 system in order to import it? Perhaps I did something wrong when using dls?

Also the Image size doesn't appear to match the size of 'available' space on the target partition.

partion sizes (kb):
/dev/hda6             13179944   3945620   8564820  32% /mnt/hda6

image size(b):
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     9455947776 Jun 13 18:29 output

I would be very thankful for any help.
