I'm trying to recover an accidentally removed directory (/home/garid/.gnupg) with ext4magic. However, It outputs following error:
$ ext4magic /dev/nvme0n1p3  -f /home/garid/.gnupg/  -a $(date -d -5days +%s)
/dev/nvme0n1p3 Error 13 while opening filesystem
ext4magic : EXIT_SUCCESS
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. What is Error 13? And How can I make it work? --------------------------------------- My distro is Archlinux. My Partition table:
nvme0n1     259:0    0 476.9G  0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0     1G  0 part /efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0    32G  0 part [SWAP]
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3    0 443.9G  0 part /
--------------------- As suggested in below, running as root outputs below:
$ sudo ext4magic /dev/nvme0n1p3  -f /home/garid/.gnupg/  -a $(date -d -5days +%s)
