Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

When recovering LDM manually, you need VBLK blocks to

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

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

false
true

Check where PRIVHEAD copies are located on a disk with MBR

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

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

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

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

Disk identification in LDM recovery is done using

PRIVHEAD
GPT or MBR data
LDM database

There are several copies of PRIVHEAD stored on the disk

false
true

Based on what a partition is linked with a disk?

disk object ID stored in partition object matches disk GUID stored in PRIVHEAD
disk GUID stored in disk object matches parent component ID stored in partition object
disk object ID stored in partition object matches this object ID stored in disk object

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

first 8 kilobytes
first 8 megabytes
