I have installed golang-go and download the release reallymine. It is a file with no extension. I tried to unzip but it is not a zip file. How can I run it?

Thanks.

The release file is a binary. chmod +x it and then you can run it. Go is not needed.

Thanks, it is running now. However, it gave error after decrypted 200M: error running decrypt: read /dev/sdb: input/output error

Does it means my disk is corrupted? anyway to workaround?

Thanks!

@dmpsuen - In my experience with my drive, the issue has to do with possible bad sectors. My drive did not have any but would stop around the 360.3 GB mark. I know that yours is stopping earlier but it's possible it hit a bad sector already. What I had to do to decrypt the drive was to make a clone of it (I used DDRescue) and then run reallymine. The only downside to this is you will need to have the available disk space to do so. For instance, I have a 3 TB WD My Book drive that failed, I have an internal 4TB that I made the backup image to and a separate (not recommended but what I have available resource wise) 3TB WD My Book to write the reallymine image to.
