Hint: in almost any rescue operation, the recommended first step is to dd
the whole disk to another place -- doubly so if the source is so small.

Even if you're on just a shit SATA SSD, reading at 500MB/s is a wee bit
nicer than at 4MB/s -- usually you need to read more than once.

And then, you can snapshot, repair, etc, the image to your heart content
without a risk of breaking things further.
