I am trying to salvage data from an unlucky volume. <br>The dump utility starts with following messages: <br> <br> DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jan 10 18:07:37 2007 <br> DUMP: Dumping /dev/sdl (/disc) to standard output <br> DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump <br> DUMP: Label: none <br> DUMP: Writing 64 Kilobyte records <br> DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] <br> <br>and then after about two and a half minutes it says <br> <br>/dev/sdl: Can't read next inode while scanning inode #2342912 <br> <br>The volume was quite big, 3.5 TB, but it was only about 1.2 TB <br>full. The dump utility apparently finds more than 2 million <br>inodes but unfortunately it breaks with the above message <br>before actually dumping any data. <br> <br>Is there some version of dump which would ignore such errors <br>and just try to make sense out of the remaining sound data, <br>even if there are corrupted chunks in between? <br> <br>Do you have some other suggestion, how to salvage as much <br>data as possible (e2fsck has even less patience with it)? <br> <br>Regards <br>Dragan |
