[17:53] <kinghat> what are the odds of being able to recover missing data from a drive? i hardly write anything to it
[17:55] <OerHeks> testdisk gives a good chance, it finds the stuff directly .. or never again
[17:56] <OerHeks> photorec, extundelete, ubcd toold
[18:04] <kinghat> OerHeks: more info, my drives are in a mirror zfs pool. there's only 2 drives. dont know if that matters.
[18:04] <kinghat> i have no idea when the data went missing. seems odd i mistakenly deleted it. feel like it didnt get transferred but i dont know for sure.
[18:05] <OerHeks> oh, such info is important yes
[18:05] <OerHeks> i have no clue about zfs and recue
[18:06] <kinghat> i feel like it would be the same but i could be wrong
[18:06] <kinghat> what do you mean testdisk finds stuffs directly or never again?
[18:07] <OerHeks> it finds a copy of the files index, and can recover, or not
[18:08] <kinghat> wouldnt the files index get updated if you deleted the files?
[18:09] <OerHeks> so you have to wait for someone else with zfs, i think it is gone
[18:16] <kinghat> most of the stuffs im finding is zfs specific and working with data, not like recovering data that was deleted.
[18:31] <kinghat> ya testdisk says it can "Undelete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem"
[18:31] <kinghat> 😞
