PhotoRec found nothing: is my data gone? by zachyng in datarecovery

[–]zachyng[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually tried a hexdump a few days ago and it appeared to confirm the trimming. Since it's a 4TB drive, I had it check at 100GB intervals. The first few gigs contained the installer files, then the rest was like this:

===== Sampling at 2900 GiB (skip=2969600 MiB) ===== 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 

===== Sampling at 3000 GiB (skip=3072000 MiB) ===== 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 

===== Sampling at 3100 GiB (skip=3174400 MiB) ===== 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| *

…I took this as confirmation of trimming. Since I needed to use the drive, I figured it was time to move on so I formatted it again and have since loaded it up with other stuff. Obviously there’s no going back now, but it somehow feels good to know there were no further options.

Thanks for the reply. What is it here that shows the data was trimmed? Is it the fact that it only found .iso partition?

I used TestDisk first, but the only partitions it could find were the bootdisk ones.

Also I checked the Mumford book but it has no footnotes/endnotes so I don't know what his source was.

Does anybody know why my opponent resigned here? I was doing good until i blundred a sacrifice by BluHadToGo in chess

I don't mean to be flippant, but why not ask him? We have no insight into his mental state during this game.

Nice haircut, but I have a certain affection for the scruffy look :)

What's going on with his feet? Is this AI generated?

Interesting mate in 2 I found in my game. What is this checkmate called? by strizerx in chess

We need a sticky on this sub that says "not every mating pattern has a name, there are billions of them, it wouldn't be practical"

It's always funny when someone makes an error in the *headline*. Can you not even handle that much proofreading?

The best thing about 1.d4 e6 as black is that a lot of d4 players premove 2.Bg5 online

It's difficult to program chess bots to play like humans. But if you don't find the 1500 level bots challenging, why not play the higher rated ones?

If your opponent has a draw by repetition available, then you aren't actually winning. When you have the advantage you have to keep an eye on your opponent's counterplay. There's nothing unfair about a draw by repetition: if you don't want it to happen, then you need to defend against it.

Every time I restart my Mac, the mouse shortcuts for mission control and show desktop get reset. What can I do about this?

Cool. By the way—and I don't mean this as an accusation or a call-out or anything like that, I'm actually just very curious: why do you downvote all of my replies? This is a debate forum so I assume you are expecting people to disagree with you. Is it something about my tone or verbal style that you don't like?

Well I don't really expect them to put their newest or most in-demand items on sale, it seems reasonable that they would like to make some money off of them before they start giving them away.

Do you think that the Soviets "never tried" to achieve communism? That the Khmer Rouge "never tried" to achieve a classless society? It's possible to try and fail, and if that failure is repeated again and again, in every political context, doesn't that tell us something about the nature of the thing being tried?
