Firstly when recovering start by making 2 copies of the raw device on separate hardware. If need be buy 2*4TB disks to store this (the price of the disks is nothing compared to the value of the data).

When you have an image of the disk stored safely run use losetup to set it up as a loop block device and then kpartx to access the partition table. After doing that run "file -s" on the block devices for the kpartx created partition entries and give us the output. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
