I have an external HDD that i'm trying to mount so I can extract data from it and I'm getting the following error.



FUSE exfat 1.2.8
ERROR: too small sector size: 2^0.


From the code in Fuse Exfat I can see this is happening because the sector size
is less than the minimum 512 bytes



/* sector cannot be smaller than 512 bytes */
if (ef->sb->sector_bits < 9)

exfat_error("too small sector size: 2^%hhd", ef->sb->sector_bits);
exfat_free(ef);
return -EIO;



Just to be certain I ran a check on the blocks to see if any of them are bad and it appears they are not.



Checking blocks 0 to 976752343
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test):
done
Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)


How is it possible for this drive to say its sectors are less than the minimum they can be? Is there any potential fix for this external drive just to retrieve the data or is it essentially just dead now with no hope?



If it helps at all this is a Samsung External M3 Portable 1TB drive: ModelHX-M101TCB/G



Thanks all.
