This is what the programmers says that RIP Linux is able to do:
Quote:
Recovery Is Possible (RIP) is a CD or USB boot/rescue/backup/maintenance
system. It has support for many filesystem types (Reiserfs, Reiser4,
Ext2/3/4dev, HFS/HFS+, ISO-9660, UDF, XFS, JFS, UFS2, CIFS, MS DOS, NTFS,
and VFAT) and contains several utilities for system recovery. It also has
IDE/SCSI/SATA, RAID, LVM2, and Ethernet/DSL/cable network support.
Quote:
The programs (fetchmail, curl, wget, ssh/sshd, mutt, links, lynx, msmtp,
tmsnc, slrn, epic, lftp, and FireFOX) have SSL support.
It includes the CD/DVD UDF filesystem packet writing tools (cdrwtool,
mkudffs, and pktsetup).
The 'fsck.reiserfs' and 'fsck.reiser4' programs are used to check and repair
a Linux reiserfs and reiser4 filesystem.
The 'xfs_repair' program is used to repair a Linux xfs filesystem.
The 'jfs_fsck' program is used to check and repair a Linux jfs filesystem.
The 'e2fsck' program is used to check and repair a Linux ext2 or ext3
filesystem.
The 'ntfsresize' program non-destructively resizes Windows XP/Vista/2k/NT4
or Windows Server 2003 NTFS filesystems. Read /usr/doc/RIPLinuX/ntfsresize.txt
on the rescue system.
The 'ntfs-3g' or 'ntfsmount' program will enable you to write to a
Windows NTFS filesystem.
# ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win "Mount NTFS partition read-write!"
# ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -o ro "Mount NTFS partition read-only!"
# ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /mnt/win "Mount NTFS partition read-write!"
# ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -o ro "Mount NTFS partition read-only!"
The 'parted' program is used for creating, destroying, resizing fat16/32,
ext2/3, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them.
This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising
disk usage, copying data between hard disks and disk imaging.
The partition image program 'partimage' saves partitions in the ext2,
ext3, reiserfs, jfs, xfs, ufs, ntfs, fat16 and fat32 formats to an image
file. Only used blocks are copied to save space and increase the speed.
The image file can be compressed, in gzip or bzip2 formats.
