Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

false
true

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

true
false

Where is the partition storing LDM metadata located (on a disk with GPT)?

anywhere
at the beginning of the disk
at the end of the disk

There are several copies of PRIVHEAD stored on the disk

true
false

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

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

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

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

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

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

LDM metadata can occupy several megabytes

true
false

How a partition start is calculated?

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