Dear filesystem guru,
I have discovered an offsite backup of work that I'd forgotten about, from four years ago. It would be great if I can access the data on it because it contains a lot of valuable materials that I thought were lost forever.
The 1TB disk came out of a Freenas 7.XX server which runs on FreeBSD and is formatted UFS.
When I put it into my current Freenas server it complains with the following error:
I put the disk into a Win 7 machine and Disk Manager reports it as a 298.09 Primary Partition (not 1TB).
I ran testdisk, please see the attached log.
Please advise if you suspect a possibility of recovery.
Thanks in advance
Nigel Haslam

Re: UFS archive disk unreadable
Hi,
I realized that I hadn't posted the message from Freenas in the above post so I put the disk back into my server and lo and behold, it allowed the disk to be mounted.
Thanks for your consideration
