File can be listed by testdisk but photorec does not recover the file (LUKS-encrypted ext4)
Posted: 14 May 2020, 22:18
Hi,
I have a partition encrypted by LUKS, and it's in ext4 format.
When I use testdisk to list the files, I can still see the deleted file that I would like to recover, but when I copy the file to a destination. The copied file seems to be not interpretable.
I've also tried photorec. However, the recovered files do not seem to include the desired file even though I was able to recover a lot of other files.
Are there other things I could try or maybe there is no hope to recover the file at this stage?
