similar to: can XFS filesystem recover rm'ed files?

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"

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove. I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime. Thanks!

Hi, What is the best tool for recovering files on really corrupted ext filesystem? I already tried photorec, but are there any better solutions available? (commercial software ?) -- Eero

Hi all, Can anyone explain or give an clues as to what just happened? I'm running CentOS 5.2 as a desktop with Gnome. Fully up to date, etc. I was dragging a folder of image (.jpg) files to another folder on the same filesystem (LVM ext3) with the mouse and as I dropped the folder into the new folder - poof! - it disappeared like a puff of smoke. I've searched everywhere for the

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

Hi, is it possible to Restore files deleted with " rm rf " from ext4 or ext3 filesystem by mistake. Regards Ahmad

we recently deployed some large XFS file systems with centos 6.2 used as NFS servers... I've had some reports of a problem similar to the one reported here... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/xfs-inode64-nfs-export-no_subtree_check-and-stale-nfs-file-handle-message-855844/ these reports are somewhat vague (third indirectly reported via internal corporate channels from

I'm running Dovecot on a Debian system which recently has been failing on an assert(). I have a spam mailbox that if I try and open (from any client), the imap process dies and this is written to the error logs: Dec 21 18:57:11 theronge imap(mronge): file imap-bodystructure.c: line 278 (part_parse_headers): assertion failed: (part->physical_pos >= input->v_offset -

Dear All, For those of you who have write access to the LLVM CVS repository, I need to ask you to take more care when moving or renaming files. If done improperly, moving files can cause headaches when doing updates from the repository or merging revisions between branches (which is becoming more common with the vector_llvm branch). There are two ways that you can move a CVS file: 1) Use

This is CentOS-6x. I have cloned the HDD of a CentOS-6 system. I booted a host with that drive and received the following error: checking filesystems /dev/mapper/vg_voinet01-lv_root: clean, 128491/4096000 files, 1554114/16304000 blocks /dev/sda1: clean, 47/120016 files, 80115/512000 blocks /dev/mapper/vg_voinet01-lv_home: clean, 7429/204800 files, 90039/819200 blocks

Hello, I'm in the process of finalizing the spec for my new dovecot VM, and this is the last question I need to address... I've read until I'm just about decided on XFS, but I have no experience with it (been using reiserfs on my old box (@ 8 yrs old now), and never had a problem (knock on wood), but considering its current situation (little to no development support for reasons

Any reason not to upgrade to subversion? It does a much better job with handling moved or renamed files although svn doesn't actually store a 'move' or a 'rename' as a single versioned operation.

Hi, Everytime I restart Centos 7 I receive a error saying? metadata is corrupt and then I need to go through the process of mount and unmount the disk uuid then run xfs_repair {some uuid} or xfs_repair -L {some uuid} which ultimately corrupts even more. I?m running on a RAID 1 two identical drives this has happened more then once and had to reinstall. Any way I can prevent this when I

Original the array was attach to an HP server via a Smart Array Controller.(which I didn't setup, I just inherited the problem) This controller no longer recognizes the array even though the front panel of the array indicates its intact. I then took the array and plugged it into my Centos server and it recognized it ... cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun:

Hi, Need help on data recovery. Suddenly my disk device's geometry has been changed to something that doesnot make any sense. Its a 1.8TB in size and had only one single partition. Now I can see 3 partitions sde1, sde2 and sde2 of sizes 130M, 140GB and 10GB. Is there any way to recover data from these newly created disk devices? Thanks Paras.

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
