Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

true
false

Where is information about partitions and volumes stored?

in the first sector of the disk
in PRIVHEAD
in LDM metadata base

Check what LDM metadata contains

partition GUID
VBLK blocks
EFI PART signature
PRIVHEAD

Based on what a partition is linked with a component?

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

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

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

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

VBLK blocks do not link to each; each VBLK block is independent

true
false

In what units values stored inside VBLK blocks are measured?

in bytes
in clusters
in 512-byte sectors
in physical sectors

Based on what a component is linked with a volume?

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

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

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