# LVM Salvage Tools
Tools to scan and recover files from damaged LVM volumes.
## Scan:
```bash
./scan.sh '/lvm-vol/path1'
./scan.sh '/lvm-vol/path2'
./scan.sh '/lvm-vol/path3'
```
## Recover:
```bash
./recover.sh '/lvm-vol/path1'
```
The source tree is mirrored beneath `/mnt/recovery`:
```bash
/lvm-vol/path1 -> /mnt/recovery/lvm-vol/path1
/lvm-vol/path2 -> /mnt/recovery/lvm-vol/path2
/lvm-vol/path3 -> /mnt/recovery/lvm-vol/path3
```
The scan creates uniquely named manifest/summary files under `/mnt/recovery`.
Classifications:
```plain
SAFE
LOST
ETB_LOST
ETB_SURVIVES
UNKNOWN
OTHER
```
Only `SAFE` files are recovered.
Safety:
- damaged LV must remain kernel read-only;
- `/mnt/recovery` must be a separate mounted filesystem;
- filesystem root `"/"` is refused;
- `".."` is refused;
- each file is dumped by inode;
- dumped byte size must match inode size;
- existing same-size recovered files are skipped;
- at least 2 GiB free is preserved on `/mnt/recovery`.
