Are you doing nightly backups? I know who does... :( First - image that disk, set the image up as a loopback mount and work on that - with any luck you can get the encrypted partition to open in LVM, if so - get what you can out of it. then look into dd, ddrescue and dd_rescue - using them on an encrypted LVM mount gets complicated as support varies. for some reason Foremost comes to mind, but I think Testdisk is better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testdisk Testdisk has a habit of going off the end of a file system, it loops back to /. So, if you pull a terabyte off a 500gig drive, that just means you have to walk the tree manually. good luck - and just be happy it wasn't a fakeraid mirror.. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
