Great! I recovered my customer’s data from a corrupted hdd.
The dd copying takes a long time expecially if you have a lot of bad blocks but DON’T use bs option (eg bs=1M) to speed up copying or you’ll risk to loose data.
Thanks a lot.

muzyk10 for ReiserFs also doesn’t exist undelete tool but using this HowTo I have recovered some very important data ;) So I suppose that there is some kind of similar “magic trick” for XFS ;))

Great HowTo. Recovered lot of important data. Thanks a lot. Could you tell me one more thing, please? I’d like to recover some data from hdd formated with XFS. Which commands I should use instead of reiserfsck -–rebuild-tree -S /dev/loop0 and reiserfsck –-check /dev/loop0?? I’ve tried xfs_check and xfs_repair but something goes wrong. Once again thanks for help.

Best regards
Winnetou

Thought i’d lost 250gb of files due to a couple of dodgy sectors. Worked a treat!

[...] Now you can remount your drive. Any data you may recover using this method will be found in the lost+found directory of that drive. Yes, you’ll have to scour through a bunch of cryptic filenames to find what you’re looking for but it may be worth it in the long run, especially if you’ve lost some very valuble documents. For a more in-depth howto, refer to this page. [...]

Hm, tried out this howto bec. deleted some files for oops.

But on setting new sb block it asks for blocksize. How do i get original blocksize? Already tried with fdisk and mkfs in gentoo….

With 4096 it doesnt rebuild tree because “metadata missing”
