I had physical damage to the disk and eventually it stopped being identified by the OS. After accessing my Luks-encrypted LVM volumes I was unable in any way to mount the filesystems or repair them, I even tried using alternate superblocks and read through quite a bit of debug documentation to no avail. I then booted to a Fedora LiveCD to investigate further and hopefully run an xfs_repair. I was unable to read, copy or view data in any way. Looking at logs there were all manner of I/O and disk hardware errors.
I first noticed there was an issue with my Fedora desktop when opening the Remmina application, it contained none of my settings, the theme was distorted and something was off.
SPIDEROAK COST HOW TO
Being the first time I’ve needed to restore data with SpiderOak here’s some things I’ve learned and impressions of the service on Linux. Luckily I had SpiderOak backups as my employer offers this as a service to associates.
Recently the SSD Operating System disk on my primary work desktop failed without warning and no manner of arcane xfsrepair or xfsdump/xfsrestore chicanery would bring it back.
