Re: disk recovery tools...
with a subject this time... I've used /usr/ports/sysutils/testdisk to recover my BSD partitions, but it was just a HD failure/MBR nukage, no newfs was run on it - Try that. ]Peter[ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: disk recovery tools...
From professional experience as a data recovery technician, I can tell you that ufs2 drives are among the hardest to recover from after a there is a little change as UFS2 use lazy inode initialization. so possibly lots can be recovered. but i don't know any soft that does it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: disk recovery tools...
moving disks from an old server to a new one I suffered from a moment of brain fade last night and newfs'ed a drive I shouldn't have. One of that new crop that is so large you won't have an adequate backup for it... :( no rescue. newfs overwrote inodes that contained your files metadata. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

>From professional experience as a data recovery technician, I can tell you that ufs2 drives are among the hardest to recover from after a format. So far the best applications that I have found for recovering data in a situation like this are testdisk and Easy Recovery Professional (by Kroll Ontrack). Obviously the ideal situation would be to get your data back in its original form, so I would try testdisk first. If that fails, however, you are going to have to use ERP (which cost money) to do a RAW recovery. Please note, however, that if you perform a RAW recovery,you will NOT recover the intact filestructure, but instead, a set of folders with your files, and the files will be renamed 'Fil001' followed by the extension.

disk recovery tools...
Guys, moving disks from an old server to a new one I suffered from a moment of brain fade last night and newfs'ed a drive I shouldn't have. One of that new crop that is so large you won't have an adequate backup for it... :( So, just wondering if there are any disk recovery tools that might be able to find whats left of the files or some portion thereof. My guess is that things like the indirect blocks live on in the data area and some portion of what was there might be recoverable to a greater or lesser degree...
