Hi Folks,
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 ?
Try this, but ONLY AFTER you finish copying over ethernet :-) parted rescue see info parted, commands explanations I have once fully recovered a partition with parted rescue. -- Command: rescue START END rescue a lost partition that used to be located approximately between START and END. If such a partition is found, Parted will ask you if you want to create a partition for it. This is useful if you accidently deleted a partition with parted's rm command, for example.
