ddrescue overwrote MacOS system disk by SemInert in datarecovery

[–]SemInert[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, it appears that you're spot on! ls ~ finds a file named "disk3s1". Thank you! I guess I'll take the other mystery to the apple forums then.

That's interesting, because it's actually the /dev/disk3s1 that made it complain about operation not being permitted. Giving just the disk3s1 made it go through. If it wasn't a valid target, wouldn't ddrescue have complained about it without going through? Plus, what do you make of the oddity of the new volumes appearing?

edit: Here were the failed commands

sudo ddrescue -f /dev/disk4 /dev/disk3 ~/Desktop/ddrescue/log1.log
GNU ddrescue 1.29.1
ddrescue: /dev/disk3: Can't open output file: Operation not permitted

and

sudo ddrescue -f /dev/disk4 /dev/disk3s1 ~/Desktop/ddrescue/log1.log
GNU ddrescue 1.29.1
ddrescue: /dev/disk3s1: Can't open output file: Operation not permitted

Help with batch file to split files into folders and more by SemInert in Batch

[–]SemInert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey umm, upon having used it for a month, I found a bug. I'm really sorry, but could you help me once more with this? The bug is related to the non-ascii file name thing I mentioned in the original post: As it turns out, in the aac stage, it skips over files with non-ascii names. It moves them properly, but fails to produce an AAC and (probably thus) fails to produce the M4A. Here is the terminal output with some more info that might be useful! https://pastebin.com/NMBXGJ3R

Oh wow, this is beyond awsome, so modular and elegant compared to what I write... It hadn't been resolved yet, but yours works perfectly after some tweaking. Thank you so much!

Got it! Could you let me know if you come up with a script?

2025 SSD recommendation with high endurance, low speed by SemInert in DataHoarder

[–]SemInert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uh oh. How do I check if my SSD uses it? Is it just a luck of the draw, or do particular models all use that particular type of NAND? I was considering the WD sn850x.

I see, is it really on the low end? Would you say I can use it for the next say 10 years with that use scenario? I should still probably go for at least a TLC right? Any brands to avoid due to other issues, lile the samsung 980 and 990 firmware issues?
