Lost main directory after fsck file system repairs

  • 772

I did file system repairs on my 475 GB partition on an external USB hard drive. with main(root) directory named xyz. After the repairs by fsck, when I connect it to the computer the partition is not mounted.

How can I get my data back?

The output of "lsblk" with HD attached is :

NAME      MAJ:MIN  RM     SIZE  RO   TYPE    MOUNTPOINT  
sda         8:0     0   149.1G  0    disk

loop0        7:0    0   952M    1   loop  /rofs

The output of lsblk without HD is without the details of sdd.

  1. To mount your HDD again type:

    sudo mkdir /media/data
sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/data
sudo mount /dev/sdd3 /media/data

    And you should have everything back in /media/data
