[mythtv-users] 3TB...poof

[Craig Treleaven]

So, yet again, the drive with all my recordings is unreadable.  This has happened to me in September 2015, August 2013 and at least one time before that although I’m not sure of the date.  And again this past Tuesday night.  I know the dates because in 2013 I started labelling drives and enclosures with the date purchased and I purchased these items specifically because of these problems.

I’m running Myth on Mac so virtually none of you care.  However, if there is someone out there on OS X that has experienced this and actually KNOWS a solution, I’d love to hear it.  I’ve tried a number of things over the last several days with success.  Various versions of Apple’s Disk Utility.  Swapping the drive into a couple of known-good enclosures.  Tried TestDisk.   The closest I got was that Disk Utility would mount the volume even though it reported it as damaged.  But CarbonCopyCloner was never able to copy more than 150MB off it.
