August 10, 20232 yr Trying to use the above tool after accidentally deleting wrong Share. Latest 6.12. I managed to install XFS_undelete from https://github.com/ianka/xfs_undelete and the tcl and tcllib (I believe correctly). I am a windows user so I am going through a crash course of learning lol I mounted an unassigned HD as the restore to location hopefully. The disk I need to restore FROM is sdc. The unassigned drive shows up as sdt So I use the command ./xfs_undelete -t 2023-08-07 -o /dev/sdt /dev/sdc I get "Cannot create output directory. can't create directory "/dev/sdt": file already exists" I try other combinations for the write to location (not a linux expert) and I either get that error or "This isn't an XFS filesystem or filesystem image." Can use some friendly help please.
