Again to all, thanks for your suggestions….
@Paul - The issue of INIT/ERASE and the operation of file high-water
marking and a couple of similar things is what I am looking to
demonstrate and the best way is with nice blocks of data :)
@Johnny - Thanks for the suggestions, I do have all the books going
back to ……..a long time ago :), but I need the actual physical images
to play with for this purpose as opposed to a theoretical documentation
of the contents.
To perhaps assuage the general interest of contributors, I am creating
disk images (dd in many cases) for students to investigate the storage
functions of different file systems and how they can be
investigated/examined in a forensically-sound manner. *nix and Windows
are easy, z/OS and i5/OS are also surprisingly easy to create the
images and the last "interesting" one was VMS.
Dropping a five U160 SCSIs volume set from a DS10L with a nice set of
information on it into a group of students is sub-optimal. Creating a
large container file that I can be comfortable is a binary duplicate is
more manageable :)
So, thanks for all the help, I have played and checked and am happy
with the results.
Cheers
