Hello. I need help with recoverting filesystem that was broken due to some strange incident.

My brother had a laptop with significant uptime with installed macOS. At some point of time it freezed during normal work, then it was rebooted and it was not booting at all. I tried to boot it from live linux flash, it booted successfully.
In conclusion to this, the main problem was that partition table was clean. I tried to restore partiton table and it was successful. There was a partition with GRUB (working flawlessly) and partition with macOS. Then I tried to boot macOS partiton, Apple logo appeared on screen and it just rebooted. Then, it stopped booting (Apple logo for short time and then reboot).
Then I did backup of internal ssd to a file on external ssd in order to recover it some time later and reinstalled the OS on that laptop.

So, I tried using this utility to restore, but I couldn't do anything valuable. As I said, I have a backup (of whole disk), so I did a little patch to read_blocks and write_blocks functions in order to skip blocks till the actual APFS filesystem.

ABORT: get_fs_records: Checksum of node at block 0xd326c did not validate.

Also, I tried using search command and I found out that there are references to files in data partition - I can find some source files. What about other filesystems - they're easily readable, but there are no any useful data.

So, there's the following APFS volumes:

 Volume list
================
 0: macOS - Data
 1: Preboot
 2: Recovery
 3: VM
 4: macOS

Volumes 4 is readable:

Records for file-system object 0x2 -- `/` --

END: All done.

But Volume 0 is not (./drat list /mnt/i/disk.img 0 /):

I can't do literally anything with this volume. FileVault wasn't enabled.
Also, I used command search with custom filters and I found that there's files with names like index.js and etc that were stored on this volume. Trying recover-raw does not give anything useful.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

[jivanpal]

Firstly, well done for figuring out how to adjust read_blocks() and drat search for your scenario 🙂

Regarding the macOS - Data volume, since the records for / (FS OID 0x2) cannot be found, you will have to use search to find the FS OIDs of any items you are interested in. I would try to figure out the FS OID of items in the user's home directory, so if that is /Users/john, search for Users, john, Documents, Desktop, Library, etc.; the name of any item you know to be somewhere beneath /Users/john will be helpful.

If you can find out the FS OID of /Users or /Users/john, then you can use drat list-raw with that OID to see the contents of that directory (assuming the records for that directory are intact). If you can find the FS OID of something within /Users/john, e.g. /Users/john/Documents, /Users/john/Desktop/random-file.txt, etc., then drat list-raw should be able to tell you the FS OID of that object's parent, allowing you to determine the Virtual OID of something useful such as /Users/john/Desktop, if not /Users/john itself... Actually, now that I think about it, only drat explore-fs-tree displays the Parent ID field, so you will need to add this output to drat list-raw by modifying print_fs_records(); change /src/apfs/print-fs-records.c:46 to the following:

fprintf(stderr, "INODE || Parent ID: %#"PRIx64"\n", val->parent_id);

Trying recover-raw does not give anything useful.

Are you sure you're using it correctly? drat recover-raw takes an FS OID (in contrast to drat recover, which takes a filepath, and won't work in your case since / is unresolvable), so if e.g. 0x123abc turns out to be the FS OID of /Users/john/Desktop/random-file.txt, then you should be able to recover it with drat recover-raw /mnt/i/disk.img 0 0x123abc > output-file.txt; without redirection, the contents of the file should be output to the terminal.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask, and good luck!

[jivanpal]

Ah, I have just realised that the block address range being searched by drat search needs to be changed for your container (start_addr and end_addr variables in the source, search.c:161), so you are probably missing search results. The existing values were taken from a 480GB container, so if your container is much larger than that, this is almost certainly what is causing you not to see the entries you're expecting. You can use drat search-last-btree-node to figure out the block address of the last B-tree node on disk. This technically requires scanning the entire container, but the last node is probably within the first few percent of the disk, so you can probably stop searching (interrupt with CTRL+C) once the "Last match" value remains stable for a few minutes. You can then use the "First match" and "Last match" figures for start_addr and end_addr, respectively.

I would advise you search for everything listed in the default list, rather than just .zshrc. That is, assuming a conventional home directory, the following files/directories are guaranteed to exist in it:

• Applications
• Desktop
• Documents
• Downloads
• Library
• Movies
• Music
• Pictures

.localized is a file that appears within all of the above directories, and .DS_Store is also a good file to search for, because they'll be all over the place, assuming you use Finder often.

I would also like to point out the the term "Virtual OID" is incorrectly used in the output of explore-fs-tree; it should say "FSOID" instead. Apologies for any confusion.

[tarik02]

It seems to be ok with end add_addr:

$ ./drat search-last-btree-node /mnt/i/disk.img
Opening file at `/mnt/i/disk.img` in read-only mode ... OK.
Reading block 0x0 to obtain block count ... OK.
The specified device has 34752512 = 0x2124800 blocks. Commencing search:

First match: 0xa5e3b
Last match:  0xf1311
Reading 0x13adf1 ...

Finished search; found 61385 results.

Will try to search for other files/directories.

[tarik02]

No.. still can't recover from there. There's a few blocks looking like home directory:

A lot of them belong to older dates when old user did exist. But they're all not readable. Recover command always show the same output:

ABORT: get_fs_records: Need to descend to node with Virtual OID 0x13ee4b, but the volume object map lists no objects with this Virtual OID.

[jivanpal]

Firstly, can you share the command(s) you ran which gave that ABORT output? Again, just want to check that you are providing the right parameters.

[tarik02]

Sorry for delay. I will show one example:
I used block from the output I provided above (0xb29a3) and supplied it to explore-fs-tree command:

Output
