I've also got a new drive to copy the recovered data (if any, cross fingers...) Most of the resources I've read up to now imply that e.g. /dev/sdc1 is detected and a 'bad superblock' message displayed when attempting to mount. In my case the kernel is unable to detect /dev/sdc1, after the long list of read errors below it ends up with only /dev/sdc. Does this look like superblock issue, or something worse? thanks, raffaele Beso wrote: > before doing something on the disk first, read all and then take a > decision on which options may help you. on my reiserfs filesystem, the > included utils were enough to let me recover about 98% of the data after > the full index rebuild. if you've journaled your filesystem, then i > think that you should be able to recover it. also, it may only be a > problem of superblock and in that case the second link might help you > more. anyway, get a disk that can contain all the data that there was on > the failed one, since you wouldn't want to do stuff on it to avoid loss > of data. > try reading this (the ext2/3 part): > http://edseek.com/archives/2004/02/25/ext3-filesystem-bad-superblock-recovery/ > and this: > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-569462-highlight-ext3+recover.html > or you might try this utility: > http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec > > 2007/11/19, Raffaele BELARDI >: > > Yesterday evening I had one 250Gb SATA disk Maxtor MaXLine Plus II fail. > The drive is formatted as ext3, single partition (sdc1), no RAID, used > as an archive of divx movies, completely full with data.
