Hi,
Noticed that there seems to be a lack of tools that fully support data recovery from Storage Spaces (and S2D). There seems to be only one tool out there that may work. Most seem to support a pool that exists (healthy or degraded) for recovery. I'm looking at scenarios where a pool was deleted (no new pool as a best case scenario) and the slabs / metadata are intact (mostly or partially). These tools seem to allow creation of a Virtual RAID so that you can at least try and see the file system / files.
Limitation is that they don't know how to create a virtual pool and try and re-create volumes and file system based on a slab scan (with the exception of one tool).
I am interested to learn more about storage spaces and know how to develop software, curious to know if anyone knows of good sources (including Microsoft) of information on the data structures of the pools and volumes and how that structure fits on physical disk?
Have performed a lot of searching and there is very little information (virtually high level details). Thought I'd reach out before trying to reverse engineer the technology.
Thanks
