Diskwarrior 4 free update#

Update 18:09:25 UTC: After more than five weeks (and 4586 overlapped files) on “Step 6,” I’m giving up. I’ll be crossing the 1-month boundary this week, and if it’s not done by then I’m giving up. I’ve been running DiskWarrior for 4 weeks straight. Update 17:23:46 UTC: Step 6 is on its 19 th day, 2512 overlapped files. Considering that I’ve been running DW for three weeks, they have some reason.) (Of course, my co-workers have been telling me to bail on this process for quite a while now. I’ve got a lot of time invested in this, but I’m starting to wonder if it’ll be worth it. Update 15:26:00 UTC: 12 days on step 6 now, 1605 overlapped files. Update 00:37:53 UTC: It’s now been almost 9 days since step 5 completed. Update 14:34:20 UTC: 7 days, 935 overlapped files. Update 15:40:36 UTC: Step 6 has been running 6 days. Update 15:48:55 UTC: It spent all weekend on step 6, now up to 675 overlapped files after more than 5 days. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day I get my data back… Update 23:58:27 UTC: It’s been on step 6 all day, now up to 186 overlapped files detected, sigh. I’ll update this post as steps are finished. There’s no point running DW on failing hardware.

If the diagnostics indicate disk failure, don’t use DW.

diagnostics from the DW CD before attempting recovery with DW! 🙁 Step 6 has been running for somewhere between 26-41 hours as of this post.

Sometime Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, DiskWarrior finally completed “Step 5: Locating directory data…” which gives an elapsed time of 200-216 hours or almost 9 days! It’s currently working on “Step 6: Overlapped files detected: 146” which translates to quite a bit of manual effort for me.
