Hi, I have an XFS partition, which is
1) Mistakenly quick formatted as FAT16. 2) At first, I couldn't see in "fdisk -l" that it is set to FAT16, instead of Linux. Hence tried to fix it with xfs_recover. xfs_recover returned 0, and mount operation succeeded; but mounted fs size appeared as 20GB (despite it is 350GB) and almost every the file is missing. 3) Later set the type of /dev/sda1 (the only partition in /dev/sda) to Linux, re-run xfs_recover, but nothing changed. I open the system with Knoppix, and below are the details of the current status. I need urgent help to recover the files. I will be really, really appreciated for any help! Best. # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x447c435f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 38913 312568641 83 Linux # mount | grep /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,noquota) # df -h | grep /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 19G 4,2G 15G 23% /media/sda1
