Hi Ed,
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I enlisted the support of an experienced tech and we were unable to get anything working. So I shot down to MSY and 30 minutes later I had hooked up the SSD with an adapter to my laptop. It cannot access the drive. Here is the message:
An error occurred while accessing 'root', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdc3 at /media/andrewlg/root: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
I think it is stuffed.
Kind regards
Andrew
Hi Andrew,
I setup a BTRFS system on a USB key and a "play laptop" and tried to retrieved files using photorec . It works. I used a copy of gparted iso . This may yield results for getting your data off sda3 Fingers crossed.

Hi Andrew,
I tried installed testdisk, and ran photorec against a USB key ( not corrupt mind you ) and it seems pretty straightforward. Perhaps you should see if you can get the data off sda3 this way.

Hi Andrew,
From an earlier post, Photorec may be the go. Does the rescue disk that you got the output to pastebin have Photorec ? All may not be lost.
ps. I learn something new everyday ( thanks Bob )- this seems to be a tool well worth getting a good understanding of.
Regards,
Ed Chan

I use grsync. I have a few saved processes, so I just fire it up and hit "go". Each backup is around 10Gb.
I have a little bit of time up my sleeve but soon the pregnant lady will want her special shot.
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Getting slightly off topic here , looks like you copy and move files from devices to devices ; Do you do that manually or is there a script that does it for you ?

Hi Andrew,
You could take it to a commercial Linux org that knows BTFS and get them to rescue /dev/sda3. It may cost a few hundred dollars but ...

Hi Andrew,
Silly question from me: do you have a backup of sda ? Can you mount sda readonly ? . Another idea - outside this technical sphere is that perhaps you could ask some commercial Linux support org that may be able to provide support. Obtaining support from a list ( a very good one at that - I learnt a lot from the posting of this list ) can sometimes be stressful.
Sorry I can't offer too much help - I don't know BTFS or RAID , I am a luddite , I only know ext3/4.

Hi Ed,I use my SSD for quicker processing and then when my work is done I move the RAW files to my RAID drives and make copy to an external 3TB, my images once exported as proofs and full size images are copied to the RAID drives and Google Drive, and the external hard drive. But I was in the middle of a project when it went down. My RAW files are still on sda3..Bugger. Its a pregnancy shoot, too late now to reshoot.Andrew
