TODO over of the next year ;-) - English documentation we working on it, but we need help !!!!!!! http://openfacts2.berlios.de/wikien/index.php/BerliosProject:Ext4magic Current stat 04.2012: not ready but looks good - support for ecrypfs in the Magic-function is particularly interesting for Ubuntu user Current stat 04.2012: ready for test - the new Magic-function for ext3 old 0.2.x function is very slow and inaccurate and is not compatible with the Magic-functions of the ext4 in 0.3.x a support for both file systems is planned with 0.4.x Current stat 04.2012: open - better support for source code and other text files "file" can not detect the text file type if a long comment at begin of the file therefore the Magic-function recovers not all shell example : for a possibility solution approach # file -i ext4magic.c ext4magic.c: text/plain; charset=us-ascii # sed '1,/^$/d' ext4magic.c | file -i - /dev/stdin: text/x-c; charset=us-ascii Current stat 04.2012: The current libmagic-5.11 eliminated the problem. Changes within ext4magic therefore, not required - ext4 : with the Magic-function it should be possible to recover also some file types if the deleted file has existed with 2 to 4 extents the conditions and preparations are already included the possible individual extents are already collected in the database a function is needed to find out and check the correct order Current stat 04.2012: open Currently known issues - on big-endian the crtime and deleted directory entry not correct if use the real libfunction for read the inode. The modified version to read the Journal inode works. BUG:#017304 ; #017304
