unable to recover partition
Posted: 03 Sep 2012, 16:24
Evening
I ran test-disk (from cents 6-3 live cd) and successfully detected the partition I wanted to recover and mark it as primary

Disk /dev/sdc - 3000 GB / 2794 GiB - CHS 364801 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors
D MS Data 2048 1026047 1024000
D Linux LVM 1026048 5860532223 5859506176
>P Linux Raid 194560034 5860532777 5665972744 [3]
Down the bottom it even says
md 1.x L.Endian Raid 6 - Array Slot : 4 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), 2900 GB / 2701 GiB
which is exactly correct. I recover the partition, reboot and parted tells me the partition now exists
Model: ATA Hitachi HUA72303 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 5860533168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 194560034s 5860532777s 5665972744s raid
(parted)
BUT
[root@livedvd ~]# mdadm -E /dev/sdc1
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sdc1.
so, it appears that test disk sort of sees the partition but is unable to recover it correctly? Any ideas?
Thanks
Stu.
