Hi,
Need help on data recovery.
Suddenly my disk device's geometry has been changed to something that does not make any sense. Its a 1.8TB in size and had only one single > partition. Now I can see 3 partitions sde1, sde2 and sde2 of sizes 130M, 140GB and 10GB.
Is there any way to recover data from these newly created disk devices?
Hi Paras.
AFAIK disks don't get partitioned out of the blue.
Yes true. We are trying to find the out how it happened when nobody did anything to this server.
They need some sort of intervention to make this happen.
What have you done just before this happened?
Did you try to do an installation of Linux, or something else?
No. This is a production server and nobody logs in. Very very restricted.
Also, is it possible for a trojan program to do this to your HDD?
Are there any know trojan that can change the disk layout?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
Thanks Paras.
