Yazlmcdr

Yazlmcdr, or Yet Another ZFS Live CD Rescuer, is a free and open-source software tool designed to recover data from ZFS (Zettabyte File System) pools that are no longer accessible due to various issues such as hardware failures, software bugs, or configuration errors. ZFS is a powerful file system developed by Sun Microsystems, now maintained by Oracle Corporation, known for its data integrity, integrity, and high performance.

Yazlmcdr operates as a live CD, allowing users to boot from it and access the ZFS pool directly from the hard drive without the need to reinstall the operating system. It supports a wide range of ZFS pool configurations and can recover data from both local and remote pools. The tool provides a command-line interface for users to navigate the file system and extract data.

One of the key features of Yazlmcdr is its ability to handle different types of ZFS pool configurations, including pools with multiple vdevs, nested vdevs, and even encrypted pools. It also supports the recovery of data from pools that have been corrupted due to software bugs or configuration errors.

Yazlmcdr is not a replacement for regular backups, but it can be a valuable tool in situations where backups are not available or have failed. It is an essential tool for system administrators and data recovery specialists who work with ZFS pools.
