Xfs partition Recovery, is it possible ?

[kwallander]

Hi, I am trying to recover 10 partitions on a Virtual Drive of 60TB size. Basically Raid card failure resulted in all partitions being not seen.

Running testdisk-7.1 against the partition shows. Ideally all partitions should be XFS, I assume MS Data is the type shown by test disk.

Output shown below.

Code: Select all

Anything I can do to recover the partitions ?

If you highlight the correct MS Data partition, you should see XFS filesystem at the last line at the bottom of the screen.
Please post the testdisk.log file instead if you need more help.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, on one of the partitions I selected, I see this at the bottom of the screen

Code: Select all

Structure: Ok.  Use Up/Down Arrow keys to select partition.
Use Left/Right Arrow keys to CHANGE partition characteristics:
                P=Primary  D=Deleted
Keys A: add partition, L: load backup, T: change type,
     Enter: to continue
XFS 6.2+ - bitmap version, blocksize=4096, 6000 GB / 5587 GiB
