HP LIF filesystems¶
LIF is a filesystem used on both HP computers and HP test-equipment, and it exists in a number of minor variations.
LIF filesystems always start with the first sector on the disk
media, as seen by the HP product, and the LifFileSystem class
makes that assumption.
Harddisks such as HP9134 can implement various partition schemes in hardware, typically configured with DIP switches and with no on-disk partition-table.
The LifHardDisk examiner searches for LIF filesystems at all
256 byte boundaries, and if candidates are found at non-zero
offsets, will partition the artifact accordingly, and hint
LifFileSystem on the created children.
Usage¶
from autoarchaeologist.vendor.hp import lif
…
self.add_examiner(*lif.ALL)
Notes¶
Files are identified by filename and have a 16 bit type number, for which no authoritative directory seem to exist.
