Opening APFS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Because the APFS-Fuse folder is not in terminal’s path, we will have to run the software by appending ‘.\/’ so our command should look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.\/apfs-fuse [device-location] [mount-point]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn my case the partition was at \/dev\/sdb2, and I want to send it to \/mnt. To send it to \/mnt I will need to have superuser permissions. My command was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo .\/apfs-fuse \/dev\/sdb2 \/mnt<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nWhen I opened a file explorer, and went to \/mnt the drive stopped responding. This meant I had to unmount the drive using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo umount \/mnt<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nI then had to remount using the same apfs command as above. The file explorer didn’t work. I then tried to use ‘ls’ in terminal, but it replied back saying I didn’t have permission to access that folder. I then ran ‘ls’ as a superuser and did not have any issues. I started looking into the drive. Whenever I pushed the drive to much, the transport layer would close forcing me to unmount and remount the drive again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copying the data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With the drive now mounted, I am able to explore the drive. I took the restore drive and formatted it as a FAT filesystem to make sure that any OS would be able to access the drive. I then had to slowly try to copy each folder in the users root directory. If it failed, then I had to go into the failed directory and copy each file individually. The cycle of commands looked as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo ls \/mnt\/path-to-user\nsudo cp \/mnt\/path-to-user\/subdirectory \/media\/mint\/recovery-drive<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nand if there was a failure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo ls \/mnt\/path-to-user\/subdirectory\nsudo cp \/mnt\/path-to-user\/subdirectory\/FileorFolder \/media\/mint\/recovery-drive\/subdirectory<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nOnce the data was recovered, it was copied to an external hard drive. Then it was ready for delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
