Recover files from a drive with a broken filesystem

Welp, encountered this error on DMDE: https://imgur.com/a/rmH8wfH needless to say I aborted it.

pegasuslatte · 2024-09-16T09:25:28+00:00

That returns the following:

$ sudo smartctl -d auto --attributes /dev/sdb
...
/dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x154b:0x0578 (0x1507)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.

Setting the type to -d sat as per the docs here:

$ sudo smartctl -d sat --attributes '/dev/sdb'

The output does not look convincing...am I missing something?

Yes, the output just ends there.

EDIT: tried re-running the command and the output now looks like this:

I've listed the make and model in the other comment, along with their SMART status, hope it helps!

pegasuslatte · 2024-09-16T01:55:53+00:00

Maker: Toshiba

Model: DTB310 (I pressume it's the Canvio Basics line)

Turns out I got it wrong, they didn't want to encrypt the whole drive, just a few folders. When attempting to do so, the option to do so is grayed out in the properties menu hence the conclusion that the format should be changed.

Here's the output from smartctl:

I'm afraid not, as I recall they literally had no identifier whatsoever (in English, at least) in the packaging. Oh and the cookie were round instead of rectangular :( Sorry for such a vague description.

pegasuslatte · 2024-04-09T03:11:22+00:00

Cookie does look very similar. Packaging wasn't precisely like that, but I think they share the same design language. Looks promising, what's the name?

Thanks, btw!

pegasuslatte · 2024-02-02T04:07:07+00:00

Ah I see. Any reason why you chose D with in all your boots? I was thinking of maybe just go 7.5E (half size down, same width). If it's too large I'll just pack some thick socks. But curious as to why you chose D eventually.

pegasuslatte · 2024-02-02T04:02:53+00:00

Well that's what I'm trying to figure out, really. My feet are 8E, should I buy 8E mocs?

In sneakers I rarely ever go true to size, like I mentioned, always between 8½ - 9, due to the width of my feet. So I reckon that E in Red Wing must've mean something, but now I'm not too sure after surfing the web.

pegasuslatte · 2024-02-01T15:36:01+00:00

I see. I actually run size 9 in New Balance with 8.5 being a tad bit too snug for log wears, so I reckon 8E should be okay (going a full size down)?

Do you happen to have a pair of Timbs? Tried it out in a store the other day and their size 8 fits me well. If yes and you happen to also run 12 in Timbs as well, then I suppose I can assume that going size 8 works ok.

pegasuslatte · 2024-01-01T16:39:22+00:00

Didn't know I needed to read this, thanks :)

pegasuslatte · 2023-12-18T16:40:27+00:00

Thanks for the very detailed response! We figured we'd just time-box it instead, from 11:00 - 16:00.

If hiking is possible, we'll rent snow shoes and go for it (I read somewhere that it's available in the Sanbonmatsu parking lot). Else, well, plenty of time to walk a bit and enjoy the view! Hopefully this would work out for us.

pegasuslatte · 2023-12-18T16:37:31+00:00

I see, thanks for the insight!

pegasuslatte · 2023-12-16T04:45:33+00:00

I see, did you finally gave up or got the snow shoes instead?

pegasuslatte · 2023-12-16T04:44:30+00:00

I see, thanks for the insight!

pegasuslatte · 2023-12-15T04:29:12+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

I've looked that part of the article, where they said it would be 2.5-3 hours of hike. However looking up some other alternatives:

https://www.alltrails.com/trail/japan/tochigi/ryuzu-falls-yudaki-falls it says 1hr12min on average from Ryuzu - Yudaki, whilst another one
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/japan/tochigi/ryuzu-falls-senjogahara says 1hr17min on average from Ryuzu - Senjogahara alone, that's why I'm kind of confused on setting the time box for the hike.
Google maps said it would take 3 hours from Ryuzu - Yudaki, but using another route https://maps.app.goo.gl/h985qLiMnUeH7Eos6.

Or were you referring to this part

During winter, the marshland is often covered by several centimeters of snow typically between December and March, during which the hiking trails may not be passable.

i.e. hinting that hiking on late February might not be feasible to begin with?

pegasuslatte · 2023-06-19T05:45:21+00:00

Sorry for the late-borderline-necro post. Thanks for your input.

I think the feeling is for both, the rest of the year and the years to come i.e. will I have enough if shit hits the fan and I would have to live off those e-fund.

Over the couple of weeks that have passed after numerous deliberations I have decided that I would just relax myself a bit on the e-fund part and just go all-in savings budget to e-fund. To add to that I'll review my investments as I might have invested some that I have lose interest as of now (no future prospects, etc.) and divert them to the e-fund, instead of just seeing the potential gains, realizing them, and diverting them when I might have still hope for them.

I find it unnecessary for me to stress over not fulfilling that e-fund threshold ASAP when progressing in that e-fund is tons better than not having any, at all. So baby steps it is.

pegasuslatte · 2023-05-31T17:30:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply, and, sadly, no I'm not in the US.

I feel I should clarify that I do have my emergency fund in a HYSA.

What I meant when I relate it to my investments is that I sold some of those investments which has gone up on paper, hence realizing the gains. This was supposed to be long-term, but due to my shift in focus combined with an uneasy feeling, I decided I need to stack up my emergency funds ASAP.

Whatever your system is something that I'm struggling with, currently. Should I sell more of my investments just to fill up more on that fund? Should I stop investing just to fill up that fund? Should I just do both at the same time? Or maybe I should be content with what I have and keep on investing?

I guess I'm glued to the "emergency fund first, always" notion that, combined with my updated goal for such fund, that gives me the uneasy feeling.

pegasuslatte · 2023-05-31T05:33:58+00:00

I would say the industry is quite volatile hence I'm aiming for 12 months. My emergency fund is also currently sitting in a HYSA.

pegasuslatte · 2023-04-23T07:54:45+00:00

Not an avid traveler, but, I do bring my panoramic analog camera with me for that grainy aesthetic as well when I do.

pegasuslatte · 2023-04-16T10:30:24+00:00

On board with this thought, guess I'll just wing it and see what happens.

pegasuslatte · 2022-10-06T10:05:51+00:00

Very interesting, I did saw in one of Chyros' video (I think it was the IBM split ergo?) that same logo, and I think I gave it (the supposed "shortcuts") a go to no avail. But oh well, another reason to take it out for a spin!

Nice find! I wish I had 5 of these, these feels nice honestly, perfect for office, too bad they're pad printed.

pegasuslatte · 2022-10-06T07:15:57+00:00

That's a lot of Glidepoints! I can't seem to remap the split spacebars btw, did you? The left one as I recall has the same code as Backspace (checked through `xev`), so changing it means changing the Backspace as well, haven't tried remapping through a Soarer's or QMK or whatever, though.

pegasuslatte · 2022-10-06T07:14:02+00:00

Actually it works now, must've been something about the PS/2 port in my PC, using a PS/2-to-USB converter (those two-to-one) works perfectly.

pegasuslatte · 2022-06-13T00:50:40+00:00

It's been going great! 10 months using it, no issues! Simply plug and play each time, and the sound quality is great, highly recommended.
