Space conflict leads to unmountable written partition
Posted: 05 Apr 2015, 04:21
I get a space conflict as per the log below. Even when I set the heads to 8 as suggested, go through the process, I end up with an unmountable disk.
I'm using OSX. They were all MAC OS Extended (Journaled) Partitions of one 3TB disk.
The files on the disk are recoverable with photorec, yet I seem unable to restore the partition. Is there anything else I can try?
