i,
I accidentally repartitioned my main storage hard drive, by using the following terminal command on it:
diskutil partitionDisk disk2 GPT JHFS+ "Canvio" 0g
To make matters worse I just realized the drive might have also been encrypted with firevault2. Not 100% sure but 95% sure. I have included screenshots of the terminal window before and after making my blunder. anyway to tell if the disk is encrypted from this?
the hard drive has about 3 TB of data on it. it has everything that I need. is there any way to get this data back by just simply re-creating the partitions? Meaning will software out there restore the partition table?
If the hard drive is not encrypted:
I have the following software: Disk Drill and Stellar Phoenix Mac data recovery. I could scan the whole hard drive for its content copy that to a new hard drive and copy it back, but I was wondering if there is any other easier way of doing this, where the partitions can just be re-created on the same hard drive.
however if the hard drive is encrypted ( I know the key)
is there any way to get the data back?
I am running 10.12.6
thanks for the help!!
