Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

true
false

When recovering LDM manually, you need VBLK blocks to

determine Logical Disk Start
link various LDM objects
determine filesystem type
determine the location of MBR

In what place you have more chances to find LDM metadata on a disk with GPT?

first 8 megabytes
first 8 kilobytes

Check what you need to get from VBLK blocks describing a partition when recovering LDM

parent component ID
this object ID
disk object ID
partition start LBA

Check what you need to get from VBLK blocks describing a component when recovering LDM

partition start LBA
parent volume ID
this object ID
disk object ID

What you need to get from VBLK blocks describing a volume when recovering LDM?

this object ID
partition start LBA
parent volume ID
disk object ID

Check where PRIVHEAD copies are located on a disk with MBR

at the end of the disk
at the beginning of the disk
anywhere but always before LDM metadata

Based on what a partition is linked with a component?

disk object ID stored in partition object matches parent volume ID stored in component object
parent component ID stored in partition object matches this object ID stored in component object
parent component ID stored in partition object matches parent volume ID stored in component object

Based on what a component is linked with a volume?

component is not linked with volume
parent volume ID stored in component object matches this object ID stored in volume object
this object ID stored in component object matches this object ID stored in volume object

How a partition start is calculated?

(Start LBA) – (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)*(LBAs per physical sector)
512*(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)
512*(Start LBA) – (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)
