RTFM - "Use extreme care when adjusting the volume size."
Discussion
tl;dr - I had an 8TB disk in proxmox that only had 2TB of data, wanting to free space, i used `zfs set volsize=5T` on that volume, after repairing the filesystem, only 1TB of data remains (mostly bitcoin node blockchain data and nostr.download data)
I will continue to attempt data recovery to restore those critically missing databases.
On a side note, are there any data recovery experts on nostr? #asknostr
Hello, I used autopsy but I'm not an expert. Autopsy works for restoring all kind of files and its very easy to use. Even I can use it 😅
Not an expert, but I've had good results with photorec. It's made to get files off of severely damaged disks. IDK if it can recover DB files, but worth looking into.
I second this, photorec saved me a couple of times.
I have also saved my own ass with photorec.
I've never heard of Photorec.
I have a hard drive with a ton of files and photos on it that will not open.
I took it to a few different places but they were going to charge me an insane amount to recover (if even possible)
Can you share more about Photorec and any relevant advice?
Thank you 🫡
1. Make a copy of your drive ASAP. If it's failing, you may be making things worse just by trying to use it. ddrescue is designed to do this for failing drives. This may be all you need to do, but probably not.
2. Read the documentation for photorec or any other tool before doing anything. It's easy to make things worse if you don't know what you're doing. https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
I have never run that command and now never will. Thanks for the heads up
I think the bigger lesson here is: don’t put ALL your systems on one hard drive, even if they are backed up.
Oh, and make a block level copy of the disk to work on so you don't make things worse.
It might be worth asking how much professional data recovery would cost vs. time and sats lost at this point. If you drives are still working, it should be relatively cheap.
Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsx8lnrrrw9skpulctgzruxm5y7rzlaw64tcf9qpqww9pt0xvzsfmgprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshssfnq7m get in touch with @Albercoin in twitter (he does not have NOSTR). He offers self-host solutions un #proxmox and is a master.

Does it's HDD not SSD?
if you have technical details that you can share about this thing happened, it will be great if you do a write up about it.
