« Last post by bnc on April 14, 2018, 20:00:01 PM »The files have not been erased by myself.
The SSD (OWC Aura) is approx. 6 Months old. I bought it because the storage capacity of the old SSD of the MacBook Air (2 years old) was not sufficient any more.
During the last few weeks, the laptop sometimes (approx. 1-2 times per day) did crash and needed a reboot.
Two days ago, after a crash, the operating system did not start any more.
I switched the SSDs again and the laptop works with the old SSD => drive or file system issue
I have an enclosure (OWC Envoy Pro) which allows to connect the SSD via USB.
I also was able to copy the SSD to an HDD via dd.
Now I try to restore restore some files from the drive.
Do you have any idea what I can try as next steps?

Is it possible that the file entries are old entries of files that have been deleted when the file system was fine?

you are using "-b 512". This set the block size to 512 bytes, which is definitely wrong. Run again step 1, but without "-b 512".

« Last post by bnc on April 14, 2018, 09:47:18 AM »Hello,
before my questions starts: Thanks a lot for this great tool! :-)
I have trouble to restore some files from a SSD. Maybe i can find here some help. This is some information I have about the state of the drive.
I try to get some files from the drive restored, but the MacOS tool, as well as some others failed up to now.
This looks good:
and also
but when I check the file catalog, the entries look not so promising.
The entries have _F_INVALID_START_BLOCK_ and/or the file size is incorrect.
Consequently when I try to restore single files, I get an error message File xyz not restored.
or a file is created but the content is not correct.
What can I do at this point?
Best Regards and thanks again for this tool.

Boot Managers / Re: USB boot option not working
« Last post by andfree on April 13, 2018, 11:48:11 AM »Thank you. PlopKexec works. I can boot into the live USB. Unfortunately, the "custom" option keeps only my boot options; not updades, upgrades, installed packages, configs etc. Even so, it gives me one more boot possibility, so it's useful, so thanks again.
