aodhsishaj, (edited ) to linux in Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

Wouldn’t you want to use

dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sdc1 status=progress && sync

Where /dev/sda3 is the damaged partition and /dev/sdc1 is the freshly formatted external drive

You’ll find your attached devices with lsblk

You’re going to want to make sure /dev/sda3(broken partition) is unmounted so as not to write any more data to it.

Yes, he’s making that pretty obvious

You would need some non volatile storage to hold your bootloader be that on the network or local. Also any shell more complicated than tty will need to store config files to run.

Don’t you have to read the partition to compress it, which is fine on a healthy partition but can further damage a broken one?

I totally spaced on BS=4M which I believe is the standard block size for ext4
