Re: [Xen-users] lvm-xen hdd disaster recovery - looking urgently for paid consultant

["mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mike - I posted a similar message a couple days ago - so far no takers.
I was able to pull back my data volume so far using testdisk and photorec - I 
extracted the lvm files and some of them worked right away.
My thought is that the non-working ones may have been resized leading to 
fragmentation.
I haven't given up yet. If you find resources (or consultants?) maybe send them 
my way too?

So far the commercial "experts" I've tried can see the data but just sent the 
drive images back as unrecoverable - so far I've done better than that with 
persistence and the tools on the web (and kind advice received).

My testdisk notes are on their forum here:
http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/trying-to-recover-windows-ntfs-disk-from-xen-hba-lvm-vol-t2252.html

My xen-users thread is here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/users/278066

Just make sure to work on a copy or make sure you don't alter the original and 
make it worse.

Regards returned,

Mitch.

Subject: [Xen-users] lvm-xen hdd disaster recovery - looking urgently for paid 
consultant

Hi All, first post here.
I manage a xen server and I'm experiencing an HDD fault, which looks like a 
software problem, and I'm unable to mount the volume.
The HDD is sata and the file system is xfs (under xen and lvm).
Please let me know if you may be available for a paid consultancy, urgenlty, 
remotely.

Thanks and regards,
Mike
