If there is no data fragmentation, which is often the case, it can recover the whole file. PhotoRec searches for known file headers. Olympus C350N, C860L, Mju 400 Digital, Stylus 300 PhotoRec has been successfully tested with various portable media players including iPod and the following Digital Cameras: PhotoRec works with hard disks, CD-ROMs, memory cards (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital/SD, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, etc.), USB memory drives, DD raw image, EnCase E01 image, etc. Unfortunately, PhotoRec isn't able to deal with this - that's why it doesn't work well with ReiserFS. In order to increase performance, ReiserFS is able to store files inside the b*tree leaf nodes themselves, rather than storing the data somewhere else on the disk and pointing to it. ReiserFS includes some special optimizations centered around tails, a name for files and end portions of files that are smaller than a filesystem block.
