tl;dr - I had an 8TB disk in proxmox that only had 2TB of data, wanting to free space, i used `zfs set volsize=5T` on that volume, after repairing the filesystem, only 1TB of data remains (mostly bitcoin node blockchain data and nostr.download data)
I will continue to attempt data recovery to restore those critically missing databases.
On a side note, are there any data recovery experts on nostr? #asknostr

Not an expert, but I've had good results with photorec. It's made to get files off of severely damaged disks. IDK if it can recover DB files, but worth looking into.

I second this, photorec saved me a couple of times.

I have also saved my own ass with photorec.

I've never heard of Photorec.
I have a hard drive with a ton of files and photos on it that will not open.
I took it to a few different places but they were going to charge me an insane amount to recover (if even possible)
Can you share more about Photorec and any relevant advice?
Thank you 🫡
