similar to: Recovering LVM after crash

Recently (and for ages, I'm sure) folks have suffered partition destruction and had to try and recover. In the recent thread, the victim eventually had to resort to Google and fond some package that I can not remember now. Well, I was perusing my YumInfo.lst.05, for general info, and I discovered this (potential) little gem. Thought I would pass it on and make it "more googleable"

I've had a disaster on my home network server; the partition table on the disk containing / has become corrupted, and testdisk has not enabled me to recover the table. If anyone can help with this I should be grateful. However, that is not what I am writing about. I've installed a substitute box - and HP MicroServer - which by a miracle has CentOS-5.6 installed on it. Now I'm

I have been having some problems with hardware RAID 1 on the motherboard that I am running CentOS 7 on. After a BIOS upgrade of the system, I lost the RAID 1 setup and was no longer able to boot the system. Testdisk revealed that the partition tables had been damaged and because I had earlier saved information from fdisk, I was able to recreate the partitions. However, booting into the BIOS and

Hello list, I would like to share a little problem with you : I've lost an 5Gb partition in an installation of Ututo GNU/Linux. It seems that the installation script does not took care of my /home and it tried of format it. When I saw that my old sda8 partition was being formatted as ext3 (fast format) I immediately, hard-restart my computer. After a run level 1 restart, I discovered that it

Hello, First, sorry for my english. I'm new in this list, and I'm having troubles because a lack of disk on my Raid 5. The server have a LVM system on the Raid 5 and the partitions on LVM is ext3. I can't identify where the ext3 superblock is on this LVM partition to use the fsck. I've tried many ways: fsck -b 8192 /dev/VolGroup/LogVol04 dumpe2fs /dev/VolGroup/LogVol04 | grep

Hi folks, I think this *might* be a product that the CentOS-affiliated community might like to include? I decide to buy a new truck because I don't drive my 'Vette enough to justify it and I can really use a P/U. Thought I would take advantage of RoadRunner's free home page (<= 5MB) to post pics, etc. to sell it. XML, HTML, SGML, DocBook... what's a n00b to do? Still working

Hi gang I just did a really stupid thing... I did fdisk and removed the ext3 partition on my 500GB external USB drive, thinking I was working on a usb stick instead. ugh. then I did 'mkdosfs' on it. ugh ugh. Before messing with it any more at all, what good ideas can you all suggest for trying to get my data back? Please don't tell me it's all gone (though I"m afraid it

Hey all.. I had a bad IDE controller that hosed my EXT3 filesystems. A resulting fsck damaged pat of the filesystem and the root inode is gone (on my main drive AND the backup drive). I immediately DD'd the main drive over to an identical drive that I have been working on. But every time.. a fsck destroys all the data (moves everything to lost+found) and nothing that I've found

I don't know whether testdisk would be helpful in this case or not but your options are limited, might give it a try. ________________________________ From: CentOS <centos-bounces at centos.org> on behalf of H <agents at meddatainc.com> Sent: Friday, October 2, 2020 6:40 AM To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [CentOS] External harddisk

Yes, I rm'ed the wrong directory. The disk has not been written to since, now mounted ro. Is it possible to recover the files without doing forensics on the whole partition? I know the UID and path. XFS is supposed to be pretty amazing, can I get it to do this? Thanks, Dave

I am reporting this on the advice of the Fedora Users Mailing List Member. This the mailing list exchange outlining the problem with specifying -S to mkfs, and it's subsequent consequences when fsck is run.

This is CentOS-6x. I have cloned the HDD of a CentOS-6 system.

I've got Metal Gear Solid running fairly smoothly in Wine 1.3.31 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard, with no instability or crashes so far. When I start the game, the sound acts as it should-- however, going past the main menu (such as to Briefing or New Game) causes the sound to stop working. How can this issue be fixed? Here's my console output: Code:
