Sorry oldfred - not quite sure what posting in line is. Would you mind clarifying what this, please, so I can avoid in future?

Thanks for that. So, depending upon what TestDisk finds, should I run gdisk or fsck first?



Annoyingly, I was trying to set up a backup disk when this all happened.

I do have some bits,...

Thank you for the further advice.

Can I just ask what the difference is between gdisk and fsck is, please?

Thanks very much for the advice - lots to try, there.

It was indeed a single partition.

Hi there.

I have done something a bit stupid and would be grateful to know if there is anything I can do to remedy it.

This is not specific to Ubuntu but if any of you guys might be able to help, it would be much appreciated.

Working perfectly, now.

Thank you very much.

Hello.

I know that this subject has been done to death, but it is the one thing that seems to prevent me from really getting on with Linux.

Can I just check that the following is true, please:...

Ah, sorry - I should have clarified.

My current server has 10.5TB of storage (4 HDDs merged via mergerfs).

The storage is for backup purposes only - i.e. it resumes from sleep, to backup my...

Hi there.

I am a long-term user of Openmediavault.

Thanks very much for that - it is very reassuring that you don't think I need to go down the road of a brand new build.
