In Topic: Retreive data from harddisk of a died vu+ duo

14 October 2014 - 15:51

I have tried several of the backup superblocks but no dice. Have to wait until I get an other same size or bigger disk to try foremost or other recovery tools. The internet is great by the way. So much info to be found.

 

Thanks for al the pointers.

I have tried ext2 and ext3 first but they don't work either, so I will look into disk check actions first.

 

Found http://linuxexpresso...lock-in-ubuntu/ which seems to give similair info as link provided by mattiL.

Hi there,

 

I tried Ububtu on an USB stick and was pleasently surprised. It works very well. Unfortunatly mounting of the disk did not. I'm no expert on Linux so need a little help here.

 

With sudo fdisk -l I found the disk:

 

Disk /dev/sdd: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30400 cylinders, total 488378646 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
 
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdd1               8  3907029167  2743214752   83  Linux
 
I think it has a partition on there (sdd1) but when I try to mount I get an error:
 
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdd1 /media/vuplusduo
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
 
With dmesg I get:
[ 2337.167672] EXT4-fs (sdd1): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
 
What is wrong and how can I fix it?
 
Thanks.

Thanks.

 

I will try the read only option first, after I get linux on a bootable cd.

 

As I'm in the market for a new box, which is a better option: Vu+ Duo2 or Xtrend ET 10000 or is the Xtrend ET 8000 a good option since it is a bit cheaper.
