Hello. I need help with recoverting filesystem that was broken due to some strange incident.
My brother had a laptop with significant uptime with installed macOS. At some point of time it freezed during normal work, then it was rebooted and it was not booting at all. I tried to boot it from live linux flash, it booted successfully.
In conclusion to this, the main problem was that partition table was clean. I tried to restore partiton table and it was successful. There was a partition with GRUB (working flawlessly) and partition with macOS. Then I tried to boot macOS partiton, Apple logo appeared on screen and it just rebooted. Then, it stopped booting (Apple logo for short time and then reboot).
Then I did backup of internal ssd to a file on external ssd in order to recover it some time later and reinstalled the OS on that laptop.
So, I tried using this utility to restore, but I couldn't do anything valuable. As I said, I have a backup (of whole disk), so I did a little patch to
read_blocks
andwrite_blocks
functions in order to skip blocks till the actual APFS filesystem.Output of
sudo fdisk -lu /mnt/i/disk.img
:Modified code (functions read_blocks/write_blocks):
Output of
./drat read /mnt/i/disk.img 0
:Output of `./drat inspect /mnt/i/disk.img`:
Also, I tried using
search
command and I found out that there are references to files in data partition - I can find some source files. What about other filesystems - they're easily readable, but there are no any useful data.So, there's the following APFS volumes:
Volumes 4 is readable:
But Volume 0 is not (
./drat list /mnt/i/disk.img 0 /
):I can't do literally anything with this volume. FileVault wasn't enabled.
Also, I used command
search
with custom filters and I found that there's files with names likeindex.js
and etc that were stored on this volume. Tryingrecover-raw
does not give anything useful.Any suggestions? Thank you.
