more information, of a curious nature. if i interpret hd correctly, it looks as if exactly 0x81000 (528384 in decimal, something like 129 * 4096) bytes were zeroed at the start of the partition. that's a suspiciously round number. maybe a dm-crypt or dm programmer knows its significance. 20-Fri-19-32-14 ~# head -c 600000 $pcvid | hd 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00081000 6a fc 32 7d a0 b4 b2 88 84 db ec fb d9 e8 b0 59 |j.2}...........Y| ... do i have a chance of recovering the data given this? thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
