Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

false
true

How many components a volume can contain in LDM?

1 or 2
any number of components
1

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

this object ID
parent component ID
Logical Disk Start
disk GUID

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

All sector addresses throughout LDM metadata are measured from the beginning of the disk

false
true

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

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

Based on what a partition is linked with a disk?

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

Disk identification in LDM recovery is done using

GPT or MBR data
PRIVHEAD
LDM database

Where is LDM database located on a disk with MBR?

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

When recovering LDM manually, you need VBLK blocks to

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