I erased the partition table of a running machine. Shame on me. Machine is still running though. There _must_ be a way to get theinformation from the running kernel. As fdisk states: "The kernel still uses the old table" I tried /proc/partitions, but can't seem to get the cylinders right. At the moment I am copying 120GB data over ethernet, which is kind of tedious. Anyone ever recover from this ?
Yes, but not done while running Linux. :-p DFSee can build a new partition table from scratch by scanning the disk for the start sectors of partitions, and give you a list of those to choose from. It's not for the faint of heart. Nearly anyone would need help figuring out how, but there is an excellent help forum available to registered users moderated by the DFSee author to make it happen.
