Hi all! I have a task that has been giving me problems.I have my sister-in-law's external hard drive that has been damaged and the filesystem is not mountable.
I am on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8
Using ddrescue, I recovered the contents and transferred to my external drive:
sudo ddrescue -v /dev/disk5 /volumes/backup/jj-recover.dmg jj-recover.log
Upon completion, I tried to mount the image by double-clicking it but received the error:
"No mountable filesystem"
So I tried using hdiutil:
sudo hdiutil attach -nomount /volumes/backup/jj-recover.dmg
Success!
/dev/disk6
So I try to mount:
sudo mkdir /volumes/jj-drive
sudo mount -t hfs -r /dev/disk6 /volumes/jj-drive
Error
hfs: failed to load catalog file
So I ran Testdisk and got this information:
Disk /dev/rdisk5 - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - 1953525168 sectors
Partition Start End Size in sectors
>P CramFS 313874337 319333484 5459148 [ L ^Og~Yo]
P HFS+ 1952521844 1953058783 536940
1952521844
1953058783
So here I am debating what to do. I was hoping that someone may have had similar issue or may have some recommendation as to what to do next.
I appreciate any and all help!!
Thank you!
