Re: [Xen-users] Xen Image corrupted and How to recover it.

[Jason Long <hack3rcon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you.

I did :

[root@localhost ~]# kpartx /home/jason/windows.img 

loop0p1 : 0 204800 /dev/loop0 2048

loop0p2 : 0 52219904 /dev/loop0 206848

loop deleted : /dev/loop0

After it what should i do? 

Can I use a tool like "testdisk" for recover .img file?

If your image file contains more than one partition, you can use kpartx to expose each partition individually as a loopback device. Then you can do traditional fsck / whatever other recovery tools to recover as you would any normal disk.

But really, if it's severe corruption, you should probably just restore from backup.
