No harddisk found error (Ubuntu 18.04 ext4)

#1 Post by jlalmes »

Hi, same old story, today I accidentally 'sudo rm -r' on an important directory I did not have backed up... :cry:

I have started familiarizing myself with PhotoRec today and have found an undocumented error on Ubuntu 18.04...

Yes, I have run with the 'sudo' command. I also tried to lasted 'testdist-7.1-WIP' but still had the same problem.

You can see below this is my current drive that I would wish to scan.

Is there anyway to force PhotoRec to scan '/dev/nvme0n1p2' drive ?

Thank you so much in advance!

Run "photorec /dev/nvme0n1" or "photorec /dev/nvme0n1p2".
Next 7.1-WIP version will list NVME disks, thanks for reporting the problem.
