ext4 errors on raid1, repair available?

[bbking]

Hi there,

I had a RAID1 system running under linux with ext4 but suddenly parts of the file system were only mounted read-only. OK, I thought lets run a fsck, which told me there are problems with some nodes. After rebooting suddenly grub told me it cannot find any filesystems and my system won't start any more.

I found testdisk and run it, but I am not sure what to do to run a recovery. I uploaded the log file (http://pastebin.com/HzrQf592) and made some screenshots. Any of you experts out there, could you take a look at it and tell me what chances I have to get my data back?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers
BBKing

See the message "the hard disk seems to small".
It looks to me like testdisk is finding a filesystem larger than the disk, perhaps from when it was part of a RAID 0.
If you're 100% certain the files you are looking for are from a RAID1, not RAID0, try selecting a different partititon or having testdisk look for other filesystem superblocks.

Have you been able to list the files from the first partition listed, the ext4 filesystem starting at 0/32/33 ?

sorry for being that late with my answer!

No, I always get a wrong filesystem or bad superblock response, when I try to mount it .

Code: Select all

root@ubuntu:mdadm --assemble --scan -v
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : 
md2 : inactive sda1[1](S)
      970737600 blocks
       
unused devices: <none>

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mount /dev/md2 /mnt/
mount: /dev/md2: can't read superblock

Or how would you go for a file listing starting at 0/32/33 ?

Also, here is what dumpe2fs gives me when running on /dev/sda1
