GDB Simple Support for XFS?

[Jared]

I noticed this while running a test scan with GetDataBack Simple:


But, I don't see XFS listed here:


Anyone know if it actually supports XFS, or is it just saying that for fun?

but didnt mention anything about XFS

I wonder if it only checks for the existance of XFS file systems to warn the user they need to use their NAS software which does support XFS. :?:

Recovery of deleted XFS is not simple, or reliable

When an XFS file is deleted, most of the information in the relevant iNode is also purged. This means there is no immediate way to tie up an iNode with a file. CnW Recovery tries to overcome this by using carving type techniques to try and determine if partial iNodes point to files or directories. The results can vary a lot between disks. To find all files, data carving is often best, but with no file names. CnW will add filenames and dates to some of the files, often more than 0% but less than 100%. Many view the recovery of deleted XFS as impossible.
