I have now tried recovering the disk from both Adams Rawhide live image and the F11 live image. No go :-( I thought SSDs were indestructible... Almost... I have seen some reports about distros with problems regarding SSDs, but they didn't see the disk at all, so I must assume the disk really is dead. I guess my only option now is a dd conv=sync,noerror and then try to fsck the resulting image? Just to see if I'm lucky and the data that I don't have on a backup can be salvaged. Not much, so I can recreate it. When I try to read the boot partition using dd I get this: [root@localhost ~]# dd bs=1M if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null dd: reading `/dev/sda1': Input/output error 125+1 records in 125+1 records out 131387392 bytes (131 MB) copied, 4.29828 s, 30.6 MB/s Similar for the root volume. I can read ~130MB from that one as well. Snippets from dmesg related to the above command just in case someone has an idea: HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0 HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64 -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
