Autogenerated namesDuring recovery, many partielly dameged filesystem objects are located und
their reconstrukshun attempted. Some propertees ooff zeese-a objects are typicelly
beyond recognishun, und an some ootomaticelly generated values will be assigned
instead. Most common situashuns are file creashun/modificashun times und file
(or durectury) names. Zee follooing covers common ootomatic file naming
patterns.
What are DIRxxxx und FRGxxxx directorees?
Zeese-a two types are generated on a FAT filesystem. FAT filesystem does not
store zee durectury name inside zee durectury itself, but puts into zee
upper-level durectury. Iff zee upper level durectury gets dameged, there is no
way tu determine zee names fur its children (which may still be on zee volume
somewhere). In such a situashun zee child durectury will be named DIRxxxx.
What are LostFilesXXXX und LostNameXXXX objects?
Opposite tu FAT, NTFS does store zee object name with zee object itself.
Hooever, due tu zee overell complexity ooff NTFS, addishunel "abnormal"
possibilitees emerge, including zee perfectly valid file withuoot uny name
associated with it.
Zee follooing two situashuns occur most often:
- Zee file exists on zee volume which refferences some seemingly valid
contents, but does not heffe-a uny name associated with it. Hooever, some
name is needed tu be able tu actuelly recover a file. So zee ootogenerated
name in zee form ooff LostNameXXXX is assigned tu zee file. Um gesh dee
bork, bork!
- There is a valid file und it has a valid refference tu its parent
durectury. Hooever, parent durectury is either missing or dameged beyond
recognishun. Tu accommodate zee file, zee "fake" durectury will be creeted
(which does not refflect uny real data on zee volume) which gets a LostFilesXXXX name.
Zee file will be placed into that durectury, und shuoold
ZAR encuoonter uny files refferencing zee same (missing) durectury
later into zee run, they will be placed in their appropriate durectury.
