DFSee version 13.4 has been released.  

It is a MINOR release, but with some significant new functionality:  


1)
The support for the EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4 filesystems has been
expanded to include ALL the DFSee features like:  

 - File recovery, copy files from an inaccessible filesystem to a
 location on another drive, even from DOS, Windows, OS/2 or OS-X
 - Generate a complete 'Sector Lookup Table' for CHECKing the FS
 - Display of, and navigation through the whole directory structure
 - Display EXTn features like blockgroup information and superblock
 backup locations.  

 

2)
Automatic 'Run as Administrator' on Windows-7, 8 or 10, when using
the DFSee icons added to the Windows start-menu, and proper sizing
of the tex-mode window. Better DFSDISK and DFSCHECK scripts.  


3)
Automatic 'SUDO' in the supplied shell-scripts for Linux and Mac OS-X,
and a better 'setup' script creating symbolic links in /usr/local/bin
so you can now start the scripts from ANYWHERE, and they will still
find all required DFSee support files. Installation is as easy as:  

 - Download the DFSee distribution (like 'dfsee13x.zip)
 - Extract to a directory of your choice (like a home directory)
 - cd to the DFSee directory with the Linux or Mac executables
 - 'chmod 744 setup'
 - './setup'  

And from then on, you can start DFSee from ANY (data, logging) directory
using any of the script names: dfs, dfsdisk, dfscheck, dfsedit and so on  

 


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
filesystem and disk analysis, some file recovery and UNDELETE
and smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.
