I tried again with the guide above and figured I didn't format the usb drive to fat32.
After ding so the behaviour is different:
-snip-
Based from pywallet's results, --recover worked regardless of the segfault errors.
Check your --recov_outputdir= direcory for the results specially the recovered wallet.dat file that can be loaded to Bitcoin Core which has a similar name to "recovered_wallet_xxxx.dat".



I did, sadly there is only a json file
Code:
pywallet_partial_recovery_1641972376.json

I'll try salvage option and give you feedback.
QT always needs like forever to rescan everything.
