Quick script to sort files found in Android's LOST.DIR directory. This directory is where files recovered during fsck will occasionally wind up.
Currently handles mp3 and mp4 audio files correctly, restoring them to /mp3/artist/album/track.ext. Other files are simply given a correct extension and moved to a sensible directory, ex: /pdf/XYZ.pdf
Create a new virturalenv and use:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The filemagic library also requires libmagic to be installed on the system. Use homebrew or a similar utility to install "libmagic"
brew install libmagic
If you're attempting to recover data from known (or suspected to be) failing disk it's usually a good idea to make an image of the affected media, then work off that image. Use dd if=/dev/my_sd_card of=/path/to/sd_backup.img' to create the disk image, then use mount -o loop,ro /path/to/sd_backup.img /mnt/sd_recovery and work out of the /mnt/sd_recovery directory. Providing the "ro" option to mount means the image will be mounted read-only. The destination (-d arg) for recovered files then should of course be someplace other than inside of /mnt/sd_recovery
