Hi Ed,
I think this is going to save me. How do I exclude the data I do not
need, I only have a small amount of space left on my laptop?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
What I was trying to say before is that Photorec( don't know what it
does ) does not try to mount ( not that I can see anyway ) so if you
have problems with sda3, this may be a way around the mount problem.
I fired up photorec and selected my BTRFS usb disk; after that I asked
it to go and recover the files, it copies them back to my nominated
destination directory. But I don't see any mount at least from the
user space anyway . by watching syslog or dmesg.

Hi Andrew,
If you have the photorec program ( apt-get install testdisk ) you
could fire it up and access /dev/sda3 ( let it access /dev/sda3 ,
don't try to mount it. . It doesn't mount /dev/sda3. If that
doesn't work , then I agree with you that the disk is stuff. or
at least the partition is stuff. You may not ne able to mount but
photorec could get to it.
Unless you have tried all this already, which means commiserations.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I enlisted the support
of an experienced tech and we were unable to get anything
working. So I shot down to MSY and 30 minutes later I had
hooked up the SSD with an adapter to my laptop. It cannot
access the drive. Here is the message:
An error occurred while accessing 'root', the system
responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting
/dev/sdc3 at /media/andrewlg/root: wrong fs type, bad option,
bad superblock on /dev/sdc3, missing codepage or helper
program, or other error
I think it is stuffed.
Kind regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I setup a BTRFS system on a USB key and a "play laptop" and
tried to retrieved files using photorec . It works. I used a
copy of gparted iso . This may yield results for getting
your data off sda3 Fingers crossed.

Hi Andrew,
I tried installed testdisk, and ran photorec against a
USB key ( not corrupt mind you ) and it seems pretty
straightforward. Perhaps you should see if you can get
the data off sda3 this way.

Hi Andrew,
From an earlier post, Photorec may be the go. Does
the rescue disk that you got the output to pastebin
have Photorec ? All may not be lost.

ps. I learn something new everyday ( thanks Bob )-
this seems to be a tool well worth getting a good
understanding of.

Hi Ed,
I use grsync. I have a few saved processes, so I
just fire it up and hit "go". Each backup is
around 10Gb.
I have a little bit of time up my sleeve but soon
the pregnant lady will want her special shot.
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Getting slightly off topic here , looks like you
copy and move files from devices to devices ; Do
you do that manually or is there a script that
does it for you ?

Hi Andrew,
You could take it to a commercial Linux org
that knows BTFS and get them to
rescue /dev/sda3. It may cost a few hundred
dollars but ...

Subject: Re: Grub 2 Issues - was Weird Boot
Hi Andrew,
Silly question from me: do you have a
backup of sda ? Can you mount sda
readonly ? . Another idea - outside this
technical sphere is that perhaps you
could ask some commercial Linux support
org that may be able to provide
support. Obtaining support from a list
( a very good one at that - I learnt a
lot from the posting of this list ) can
sometimes be stressful.
Sorry I can't offer too much help - I
don't know BTFS or RAID , I am a luddite
, I only know ext3/4.

Hi Ed,
I use my SSD for quicker processing and
then when my work is done I move the RAW
files to my RAID drives and make copy to
an external 3TB, my images once exported
as proofs and full size images are
copied to the RAID drives and Google
Drive, and the external hard drive. But
I was in the middle of a project when it
went down. My RAW files are still on sda3..
Bugger. Its a pregnancy shoot, too late
now to reshoot.
Andrew
