Anyone else remember messing around with inode fixing tools? Used to leave me with my bowels quaking. This would have been mid-80s, but can't remember unix version or the tool names now.
- flyinghamster 1y agoI recall icheck, dcheck, and clri, and never had to use fsdb. Also, mknod for populating entries in /dev, creating fifos, etc.
- kjs3 1y agoLuxury. You haven't lived until you had to use 'adb' to try and debugger a filesystem.
- rootbear 1y agoI share your trepidation. I once had to use clri and such to clean up a mess and it was terrifying.
- qingcharles 1y agoI think I was still doing this in the mid-90s?

- themadsens 1y agoOh yes. For one thing "hexdump -C ." would work out nicely in those days.
- somat 1y agoIsn't hexdump the modern punk upstart. In my day we had to use od, and were happy to have it, now get off my lawn. Full disclosure, I am one of those "modern punk kids" but my first boss was firmly in the od generation. and all his documentation referenced it as such. hexdump is ergonomic heaven in comparison.
