I had not received, and surely it is because of my provider being likely
intentionally lousy, the reply that Atila's reply that I see in the
list archives at:
( of this same subject as this message you are reading )
http://sourceforge.net/p/sleuthkit/mailman/message/33695222/
> Please don't use mke2fs!!! That's for create a new fs!

I think it is even more complicated than that; try and skimm through:
i) the beginning of the topic, to see how exactly the trouble started:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004014.html
ii) the very good explanation from frostschutz that I only recently
grasped:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004014.html#7724060
iii) more of a good explanation by another Gentooer:

Yes, but as in iii) did not help, at this stage:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004014-start-25.html#7742740

It's not. Forget it, that was wrong on my part.
So to Atila's kind message I reconstructed a reply by pasting it from
the web archives, as I already have done about a month ago, and that one
from a month ago still got in the right place in the thread of the
archives. Will this mail arrive to the Sleuthkit ML, remains to be
seen...
If this mail doesn't pass through my provider's
censorship/sloppiness/other, to arrive to Sleuthkit ML, I'll post it at:
Recover partly overwritten luks volume?
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004014.html
(where it will be publicly visible around the current date and time plus
a few more hours),
and there I will kindly ask readers of that topic to paste it in their
mail and send it to Sleuthit ML for me.
I have tried a few times to register to Sleuthkit Forum, and you can see
two of my documented failed attempts, in screeencasts and packet dumps:
i) linked from:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004014.html#7724054
registration completely successful at forum.sleuthkit.org, mail never
arrived
ii) linked from:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004014-start-25.html#7734200
my correct captcha response at the Schmoogle wouldn't be reacted at all,
Schmoog was playing mute. It's a miniature, easily checked it I am
saying the truth.
As I kindly ask in i) above, help me some of you dear people at
Sleuthkit.org!
E.g. encrypt a random password for me to my 0x4FBAF0AE key, e.g. to user
miroR that I tried to register as, and send it to me via email, but
check for my reaction within a couple of days to see if I got it.
And if no reaction from me, a stubborn wannabe SleuthKit Forum user,
than it is very likely that it didn't get through to my mailbox.
In which case, as I suggest in i), it's quick and easy (for you
uncensored free people, and the most of your readers), to log into
Gentoo Forums; people like, e.g. PaX Team, or the MirBSD creator
Thorsten mirabilos Glaser did it for just a message or two... Log into
Gentoo Forums some of you, and send me a private message with the
necessary password, encrypted or even unencrypted to my 0x4FBAF0AE key.
Once I can log into forum.SleuthKit.org, I'm likely free to finally post
my issues there. With the email correspondence, my provider are real
jerks.
Thank you in advance!
