Embedded Files
Once you have extundelete ready, you can now start to recover the all files within a partition. This section guides you through on how to recover all the files.
Unmount Partition (IMPORTANT)
Unmount Partition (IMPORTANT)
The first step is to unmount the partition, leaving it to only the device node. This is because extundelete has a nasty reputation of corrupting the entire partition after its recovery. You should not skip this step. Use lsblk to identify your target partition.
Make A Workspace Directory
Make A Workspace Directory
Once done, create a temporary directory to work and change directory into it.
$ mkdir temp && cd tempUndelete Partition
Undelete Partition
Once you're ready, you may begin the undelete process. Please do keep in mind that it can take hours to recover depending on the age, time, and disk size. The command is:
$ extundelete --restore-all <disk partition>Example:
$ extundelete --restore-all /dev/sdb4That's all for undelete all files in a partition.
