concerning the RAID5 LVM2, assuming you created a Linux MD RAID5, which you partitioned later on :

run

gpart -f /dev/md/0p1

which should run a full scan of your MD device and will report any partition look-alike it detects.


Quoting "Maarten Boot (CWEU-USERS/CWNL)" <Maarten.Boot AT NL.COMPUWARE DOT COM>:

scanner and uasm could be a tried

normal restore will not consider any aborted backup

3.5TB at 11-16MB/s..whippy!


I fire it up and everything seems good, for a while.

on sunday I get THE phone , due to a SERIOUSLY faulty powersupply the UPS
and everything on it was knocked out, heck it even tried to kill me later
on. This of course broke the backup. AND the system I was backing up.

Now my question is this, the saveset is flagged as aborted, is there anyway
I can see what files is in the saveset and can I recover it.

I have been reading up in scanner and are running scanner -iv on the
saveset to try and recover some client index.

can anyone help ?

oh btw: if you know a wizard in LVM2 that can help rebuild a lost partition
table on a RAID5 then please drop me an email, this is a paid job btw.
