When I read about Ma.gnolia’s disaster, I wanted to write a somewhat similar post. Of course, you put it all in a nice way.

Reminds me of the time when I was left with a 1TB severe corruption. Every consultant we tried to bring on board (MySQL included) told us that the data cannot be recovered. Yet, after a very painful process, we were able to recover 99%.

I believe Ma.gnolia shouldn’t have given up so easily.

I worked with Larry extensively on Ma.gnolia as product manager until Feb 08 and on redesign work after that, so I’ve been in touch with him through all of this. Drive recovery analysis took about 10 calendar days, and was started after the cache recovery tools were in place, since the cache viability was a race against the clock.

I don’t know the details of the drive recovery work, just the outcome, but it’s good to know that there are other options for MySQL problems. As I finish this comment I see the followup on the GS thread, and really appreciate that.
