Updates to DiskDigger and FileSystemAnalyzer, October 2023 – Dmitry Brant
Summary
DiskDigger and FileSystemAnalyzer can now handle all of these cases when mounting and searching file systems that might be present on such disks (FAT, NTFS, ext4, etc). Here is how you can configure to treat a disk image as a 4K drive: The above example boots from an ISO file, which can be a Linux live DVD, and makes the hard disk become a NVMe device, which allows us to configure its physical and logical block size, which we set to 4096. Linux should detect this NVMe device automatically, which will then let you create partitions and file systems on it for experimentation. This took a bit of effort to reverse-engineer, but ultimately wasn’t too difficult to crack and integrate into FileSystemAnalyzer. Best of all, these Xenix images contain C header files that actually describe their own filesystem structure (can I call them eigenheaders?
