I went through all the recovery options I could find (starting from read-only to "extraordinarily dangerous"). Nothing seemed to work.
A Windows based proprietary recovery software (ReclaiMe) could scratch the surface but only that (it showed me the whole original folder structure after a few minutes of scanning and the "preview" of some some plaintext files was promising but most of the bigger files seemed to be broken). I used this as a bulk storage for backups and all the things I didn't care to keep in more than one copies but that includes my "scratchpad", so I cared enough to use RAID5 mode and to try restoring some things. Any last ideas before I "ata secure erase" and sell/repurpose the disks? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
