Just wanted to post a follow-up.

First thank you for pointing out the difference between /dev/sdj and /dev/sdj1 - I was missing that in this process and possibly messed things up more. C'est la...

First let me preface this with that the data on the drive isn't backed up, but it isn't important. It's just easier if I can see what's on it still and maybe recover some metadata.

I have various scripts that are basically wrappers to add header information so it makes it easier to parse the output when I redirect the output to a file.

This is an example:
