Do you remember what filesystem you had on 'storage'? Was it ext3 or ext4 or
xfs or something else?
You're giving me some hope here and then silence :)
Why did you ask about the file system? Should I run fsck on the LV ?
You already did run fsck on the LV. It basically said that it didn't
recognise the filesystem at all.
I asked in case maybe it was XFS in which case a different tool would be
required.
Looks like I didn't remember correctly. I ran testdisk and it reported
the file system to be XFS. What would you suggest now Neil?
Presumably
xfs_check /dev/fridge/storage
and then maybe
xfs_repair /dev/fridge/storage
but I have no experience with XFS - I'm just reading man pages.
That didn't work so I decided to give photorec a spin and so far it
could find and recover lots of files [1].
Why the heck is photorec able to do so but the normal file system fixing
tools are just useless?
