How many of you are tech savvy? To the point of being able to examine and reconstruct file systems with basic UNIX or GNU command-line tools?

How many of you even know what that means?

How many even care?

I care and know what that means, but don't have the first clue about how to do anything even close to that...

Know what it means. Can't do it.

I'm not. I don't. I don't.

I'm tech savvy.

I can certainly examine, and depending specifically what you mean by "reconstruct" (from what? to what? recovering lost files? making it readable/writable?) I'm capable of that as well.

So, I essentially know what you mean.

Do I care? Probably not enough to reconstruct a filesystem by hand...

I care. I'm more tech savvy than most I encounter, but far from truly being described as such. I can fsck, mkfs, dd, strings, cat, etc, but reconstruct? Perhaps I'm capable of it, but I am unknowledgeable in what a fat table looks like, or a ext2 structure should be.

Have you poked at the 'we love katamari' disk more? You've piqued my curiosity, though i've probably got nothing helpful to contribute. Does it make sense to trim off all the binary garbage before the boot sector and then try to mount?
