I'm running lazarus from Wietse Venema's 'The Coroner's Toolkit'. It reads
undeleted data or just devices (I'm having it read an ntfs partition at
/dev/hda1) and extracts files right from the raw data. Very cool stuff.
Unfortunately... I'm half done and I've got 108391 recovered blocks,
216757 supporting html files (to help in browsing that mess) and I've only
got a third of the data so far.

I'm going to eventually eventually send this stuff out to CDR so I can
free the machine back up and recover data at my leisure. What I'm
wondering is if I'm going to run into some sort of limiting factors in
ext2 or iso9660 in the process. My ext2 partition is formatted with the
default 4K blocks so does that mean that *every* file occupies that much
space or are the blocks sub-allocated? And what's going to happen when I
stick this stuff onto CD-R? These ~300K files are actually 3.3G of data so
I won't actually have *that* many files on a single cd. I could have a
bunch tho.

Ideas?

Oh yeah just for reference lazarus is a memory hog. This is a 64MB machine
and I've got a gig of swap space. Right now lazarus is occupying 30MB of
real ram and has 335MB in swap. If I've got another 4GB of data to extract
do you think I'll need more swap space?
