Subject: [gentoo-user] Recovering MySQL Database from EXT4 Formatted Hard Disk ...

1 Hello,
2
3 I am trying to recover MySQL databases (which were properly shut down)
4 from an EXT4 formatted hard disk. I loaded the SystemRescueCD distro
5 that you can get online and when running TestDisk I can see the
6 partitions but I cannot recover said partitions because it tells me the
7 structure is bad (any options here, by the way?)
8
9 With PhotoRec, I can recover parts of the MySQL Database but I cannot
10 get the important *.MYD files because I guess PhotoRec doesn't have the
11 signatures for that type of file.
12
13 So, any options I have at this point?
14
15 Thank you for your time.
