Is there a way to fix this with TestDisk?
The disk is my last working old Time Machine disk, 8TB & hfs+.
One by one my TM disks has had a mechanical failure or corruption that prevent me from copying old backups to new disks.
Quite sad.

A repair may be possible even without Testdisk:

Re: MacOS: "Invalid B-tree node size (4, 0)"
I guess searching partitions is useless?
"Deep scan" has been going on for 14 hours with amazingly slow speed 27 MB/s.
It should take about 4 days for 8TB drive, but the counter is still at 01%...
Could it be that TestDisk sees every TM backup as an own separate partition?

Re: MacOS: "Invalid B-tree node size (4, 0)"
I wonder whyrecuperation wrote: ↑20 Jul 2023, 06:59 A repair may be possible even without Testdisk:
https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk_doc ... from-macos
Code: Select all
sudo fsck /dev/disk1s1Haven't found anything about that being changed.
I did find the only repair command mentioned with this NVALID B-TREE NODE SIZE corruption
Code: Select all
sudo fsck_hfs -r -d /dev/disk1s1https://drive.google.com/file/d/16_CojM ... sp=sharing
(Was there something tampered in the history that you can't share pics from Gdrive?
All the forums I used past years have hosted pictures by themselves...)

Seems to be that TestDisk does not help in this corruption problem.
Time to spend money on DiskWarrior.
