filesystems - recovering ext4 partition after dd'ing over start of HD - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
Saved by uncleflo on August 9th, 2014.
I accidentally used dd and wrote over the first 208MB of my external disk. What I wrote over is a partition on its own (Debian nestinstaller) so what I see now is not my old (now damaged) ext4 partition but another smaller partition. This limits the tools and advices I could follow. My plan was to recreate the partition table with testdisk and then fix everything with the backup superblocks as described here. I'd lose the first 208MB but that's ok compared to the other 300GB of data in there. Something like the following:

dd - writing zeros - general question
Saved by uncleflo on August 23rd, 2013.
Can't figure out why using dd to write zeros to a hard drive is so slow. Yesterday, I prepped a hard drive for a friend and did the standard command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda The machine I used has a Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz cpu, 2 Gigs of DDR2 800 RAM, a new Intel mobo, and a Western Digital 250 gig. SATA drive with 16 meg. cache. The result was 30,482 seconds (approx. 8.5 hrs.) to write zeros to the entire 500 Gig. drive, at an average rate of 16.4 MB/sec.
