Strangely, it looks like half the drive is empty, never written to. All zeros.
So it's gone gone, I bet.

I'm running hexedit on the drive from a live USB.
I'm running hexedit on the drive from a live USB. Searching for a known unique string: "Über Spades" (About Spades, in the German translation). I know this string to be present among the data I'm looking for because it's in a screenshot I posted here.
I think it's halfway through the drive -- seems further than Grep got, which kept getting killed some part way through. Hasn't found it yet. I do expect it to be towards the end somewhere, if it's even there.

Putting out the call: I'm looking for some software that would let me recover files and folders from an overwritten BTRFS partition.
Putting out the call: I'm looking for some software that would let me recover files and folders from an overwritten BTRFS partition. I need to select a certain folder and recover as much of it as possible. (It's the lost Spades source code.) I'm pretty desperate to get it back. Boosts encouraged.

RE: I can't seem to record this fucking presentation!
@steffo deadlock sounds like the perfect word to describe it, it completely locked up and wouldn't do anything else but occasionally try again and log the failure (and I could only see the last part).
I saw that it wasn't really doing anything so I force-shutdown'd it. I'm going to have to figure something else out to record my presentation, because apparently my system can't do it... -
RE: I can't seem to record this fucking presentation!
@steffo I mean maybe... Hope not, I kinda need that...
