Specifying drive to write IMG file to #121

Open TorridgeYeti opened 3 years ago

TorridgeYeti commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have installed Reallymine on my main Linux 320Mb HD. I have a defunct WD 2Tb HDD (dev/sdb) that I am trying to decrypt. I successfully started decrypting then realised that the IMG probably wont fit in the bin folder on my main 320Mb drive so I did CTRL C and checked out the IMG file. Sure enough it was finding photos and portions of MP3 files. Now I have added a blank 3Tb HD (dev/sdc) formatted in EXT4 to save the full IMG file to. However, now I cannot find the write command line to write to the new disk. Tried sudo ./reallymine decrypt /dev/sdb /dev/sdc/decrypted.img but just got the error "running decrypt: open /dev/sdc/decrypted.img: not a directory" Tried variations of this but no luck. Where am I going wrong? Is it because Reallymine is not installed on the new disk? Any help is really appreciated, especially if you're out there @themaddoctor

I can't say for certain, but try sudo ./reallymine decrypt /dev/sdb /dev/sdc/ without giving the output filename.

My linux is rusty so please bear with me...is the /dev/sdc mounted?

Could be thAt

Oops. Right. Do this: sudo mkdir /mnt/stuff sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt/stuff sudo ./reallymine decrypt /dev/sdb /mnt/stuff/

Thanks for the suggestions. I stumbled upon the solution which was to type sudo ./reallymine decrypt /dev/sdb /media/[myUSERNAME]/[LABEL]/[FILENAME].img where my username and the label of my newly mounted disc form the address shown in the 'Disks' utility in Linux. Discs now whirring away, only a few days to wait now, lol!
