Each guessing module is asked if it thinks a +filesystem it knows about could start at a given sector. Several +filesystem guessing modules are built in. + +Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types: +DOS/Windows FAT, Linux ext2 and swap, OS/2 HPFS, Windows NTFS, +FreeBSD and Solaris/x86 disklabels, Minix FS, QNX 4 FS, Reiser FS, +LVM physical volumes, BeOS FS, SGI XFS. |
