#./stream_parser -f orig.vhd # here is the magic – their code goes through and finds all of the ibdata1 logs and markers and creates data you can start to work through #move all of the compiles files into your working directory
#Testdisk read error every cylinder install
#apt-get install libmysqld-dev #this was not mentioned anywhere, however an important file was quitely not compiled without it. Since this code worked for our needs, I have forked it so that we can make it permanently available: įirst step was for me to copy the. I am thinking perhaps they run more of an service business now and can help people resolve the issue and they dont want to support the code.

I searched and found a couple other people out there that had forked it before twindb took it down. They took a while and didn’t call back before I had sorted it out. All of the documentation he did have showed a link to his github account, however the link was dead. The documentation was poor, and it took a long time to figure out, however they claimed to have 24-hour support, so I thought I would call them and just pay them to sort out the issue. They claimed some level of this worked for corrupted file systems. The idea is that even after you drop or delete innodb files on your system, there are still markers in the file system which allow code to parse what ‘used’ to be on the system. So I came up with a way to try and access the data.Īfter much research I came across a tool that was published by ‘ ’ called ‘undrop tool for innodb’. So, we know that the xen servers / pool reject loading the corrupted vhd.

When we tried to attach the failing disk we get this error Attaching virtual disk 'xxxxxx' to VM 'xxxx' To do this we looked at the Local Storage -> General tab on the XenCenter to find the UUID that will contain the failing disk. We helped them to restore from a backup, however there were some items that they had not backed up properly, our task was to see if we could some how restore the data from their drive.įirst, we had to find the raw file for the drive. vhd file for the data drive for a xen server in a pool.
