When I run debugfs: stat <inode number>,
I get a filesystem not open.

Not sure what this means. Basically, I am trying to recover deleted files for practice but I am not sure what I should do for the response I get.

Please advise.

Thanks.
 
First, &quot;stat&quot; takes a filename on mysystem, not an inode number.

But I can't get that &quot;filesystem not open&quot; unless I just do

debugfs

without giving a device.

If I say

debugfs /dev/sdb1
stat tmp

it works.
