Re: [Bug-ddrescue] badblocks - what data

Hi Al.

Use The Sleuth Kit.  Specifically, the icat and ifind tools.

Here is an example:

Just make sure you are using the same size blocks.  NTFS uses 4096 byte blocks by default.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

I know this is slightly OT, but hoping someone here will know the answer. My
question mainly relates to NTFS disks that are tested under Linux with
badblocks command.

If you find badblocks, is there a way to see if (a) they are on slack space
and (b) if they are adjacent or in the middle of a file what file.

I assume this could be done by comparing the badblocks with the FAT?MFT or
similar?

Cheers in advance
