how to recover filesystem after clobbering array?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello people.

I've messed up good, and now I need you nice folks to help me recover 500GB of irreplaceable home video, the full 7 years of my family trove. :(

I mistakenly used mdadm to *create* an array instead of *starting* the array (big Duh!). Now the array has no partition table. I shudder to think I may have clobbered not only the array but also the file system. I hardly slept last night. Acceptance is a process. :/

I've learned my lesson there, no more fiddling with "--assume-clean" (which was a stupid idea in the first place), but the issue remains: how do I get to the file system that I know is still there? The array is up but obviously it was never mounted.

Can I just recreate the partition table and it works?.... or do I have to use some complex form of forensics to recover the data?

Thank you very much,
Vasco.
