DFSee is the SWISS-ARMY-KNIFE for disk and filesystem problems. With FDISK-like displays, analysis and recovery, FIX commands, UNDELETE for HPFS/NTFS, imaging and cloning. More details at: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee.htm Direct download links: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfsee6xx.zip http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dfsee613.zip http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=dfsee Just the 'dfsee' Linux executable and the 'dfstest.dfs' script: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfslinux.zip Most important functional changes since 6.11/6.12: - DFSTEST Script enhanced with a few Linux specific commands - DEV Alias for "vol" cmd, show device mount info on Linux - HELP Changed footer-colors in 3D-cmdr scheme to magenta - Key Fixed finding 'dfsee.key' in the Linux PATH correctly - MENU Fixed Exit/Speed-w entries missing in Linux version - MENU Linux-device description added to Part/disk lists - MENU "Open device to work with" for Linux (not "volume") - MAP Removed extra '/dev/' from top line of MAP display - PTE/LVM Fixed inconsistent Mode=xxx after executing command - QUERY Fixed traps on several values when 0 disks accessible - Screen Fixed garbage windows borders in Linux version (xterm) - Screen Fixed garbage line-drawings when running non-windowed - VOL Fixed size problem in non-Linux (bug in 6.12 only) - VOL Fixed base problem in DFSDOS version (like vol A:) The Linux version has been tested on several IDE and a few SCSI systems and on Red-hat-5, Slackware-7, Suse-9.0 and Mandrake-10 distributions. What is still needed is verification of the basic functionality on as many SCSI and IDE systems as possible, and with as many different Linux-distributions as possible. To help with that, please install the 'dfsee' executable and run the 'dfstest.dfs' script, which does some display-only tests and produces a 'dfstest.log' file to be sent to me ... ./dfsee run dfstest Please send 'dfstest.log'files you collect to support at dfsee.com and include some details about the system and Linux version. Of course you can report any problems or strange behaviour too :-) The Linux executable must be installed with the 'executable' bit set ('chmod 755 dfsee') and when the install directory is not in the 'path' you may need to start it as "./dfsee". For full capabilities you need 'root' priviledges. (login as 'root' or use the 'su' command) It was designed for the Linux CONSOLE using the 'linux' terminal type, but should work acceptably in an xwindow terminal too. (the 'line-drawing' bug in an xterm is now solved :-) Regards, JvW ========================================================================= DFSee Home: http://www.dfsee.com; Jan van Wijk; Author of DFSee - infoDESPAM at dfsee.com -- Warpstock 2004, Denver, Colorado, October 21 - 24, 2004 http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock Europe 2004, Arnhem, The Netherlands, November 26-28th, 2004 http://www.warpstock.net [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
