I'll be the first person to admit that I know nothing about the UDF
filesystem.  To me, UDF means "United Dairy Farmers"  :-)
But in my experience, NEVER build a file system on an entire disk.
Always create a partition on the disk, then build a file system on
the partition.  I suspect that that is your problem.  Unfortunately,
that will not be of much help to you at this point.  But it may prevent
you from making that mistake in the future.

Patient:   Doctor!  Doctor!  I've broken my arm in three places!
Doctor:Well, stay out of those places!

Testdisk isn't working (from apt repository also, w/o photorec i think)?
neither directly from the /dev/sdisk neither from a dd image of it?

man dd; Linuxquestions.org has an exaustive post about dd. Google for
the testdisk/photorec site and wiki.

UDF filesystem in removable harddisk crashed

2010-02-05 Thread User


  Hi, all kind friends. Help me! Sorry for my poor English.

  My OS is Debian Lenny for i386, and last month I bought a "Seagate
FreeAgent Desk" 1TB removable harddisk. In order to can be used on both
Linux and Windows, I chose UDF filesystem for it. The command of making
filesystem at that time was:

# mkudffs  -r 0x0150 --media-type=hd --utf8  /dev/sdb

  Note: I made UDF filesystem in the whole disk, not partition.


  It worked normally, read and wrote file normally. Today, when I mounted
it, and copied some files to it, found that it became very slowly. So I
unmounted it and tried to mount it again. But it could not be mounted
again!!! The filesystem was crashed!

  I have searched Google, found much software to recover data for UDF
filesystem, but they all work only for UDF CD/DVD, not for UDF harddisk!

  Oh, many valuable files are saved in the disk. Can anybody tell me some
way to save data in the disk? Thank you very very very much.
