Photorec keeps restarting search.
Posted: 14 Mar 2016, 16:19
Hello,
I'm trying to use photorec to recover some videos, but every time a file is found (a corrupt file actually), the search goes to back to sector 0, and the completion time jumps to something like 500h. also the pass 0 never goes through the whole hdd, it skips to pass 1 at around sector 190461804/10610098176 even though no headers were found. its this behavior normal? I left photorec running for almost 40h, it found around 100 small mpg files, all corrupt.
I'm running photorec on a LVM of 5059GiB, does this exceed the maximum "partition" size?
I'm using photorec 7.0 on archlinux.
