Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

false
true

When recovering LDM manually, you need VBLK blocks to

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

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

parent component ID
this object ID
Logical Disk Start
disk GUID

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

first 8 kilobytes
first 8 megabytes

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

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

Where is LDM database located on a disk with MBR?

at the beginning of the disk
anywhere but after PRIVHEAD
at the end of the disk

Where is information about partitions and volumes stored?

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

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

Where is PRIVHEAD located on the disk with MBR?

in sector 8
in sector 1
in sector 6
in sector 2

Check why PRIVHEAD is that important

it contains the base sector from which all addresses throughout LDM metadata are measured
it allows to identify disks
it allows to determine RAID configuration
it allows to bind LDM components

We have a mailing list in which we talk about interesting cases we encounter and share some tips and tricks.
