So I decided to copy backup_mbr to the disk, but apparently that wasn't a very good idea: the partitions on the disk are no longer recognized. As such no big deal - after all it's an experiment disk with no valuable data.
But - and I admit that it gets somewhat off-topic here - it seems a nice opportunity to see if the partition setup can be recovered.
I ran gpart on the disk, but gpart has no modules for ext4 or btrfs. I cannot find the modules on the internet. Does anyone here know if they exist, and if so, where to find them?
I have no idea, but that would not matter here. The only MBR partitioner ever used here, DFSee (not free, but with binaries for 5 platforms), will locate every PBR (regardless whether or not currently valid). From the location data it provides, each partition can be recreated. Maybe there is something free that can do similar. DFSee does have a 30 day free trial. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
